About Curt Gowdy

Curt Gowdy State Park, located 24 miles west of Cheyenne, Wyoming, offers excellent fly fishing opportunities across its three reservoirs: Granite, Crystal, and North Crow. Granite Reservoir is known for its rainbow trout and kokanee salmon, while Crystal Reservoir provides shoreline fishing for brown trout, rainbow trout, and kokanee salmon, with a 15-horsepower limit for boating. North Crow Reservoir is a more primitive, day-use fishing area. While the provided content does not detail specific hatches, anglers can anticipate opportunities for dry fly, nymphing, and streamer fishing in these picturesque Laramie Mountain foothills. The park also features amenities such as a fishing pier and ADA access, making it accessible for many anglers.
