Wyoming Water Levels & the Daily Bite

Live levels for Wyoming's reservoirs — Flaming Gorge, Boysen, Seminoe, Buffalo Bill and the North Platte chain. Every tube shows the normal pool, the current level, the lake's two signature fish (hover for the species, click for 2026 tournaments), and a live bite gauge at left. Scroll down for the Bighorn & Green River tailwaters and the Snake & Green float rivers.

Each cylinder is scaled to its own operating band: the gold line is normal full pool, the red line is the flood / above-normal line, and the blue water is the live reading. Where a Wyoming reservoir has a live federal gauge (USGS or Bureau of Reclamation) it reads true surface elevation (ft); reservoirs with no public real-time feed show the most recent published pool. The colored bar at left is a solunar bite forecast for right now at each lake (red = slow, green = hot).

Trout Tailwaters — Cold Water Below the Dams

Wyoming holds world-class trout: the Bighorn at Wedding of the Waters, the Green below Fontenelle, and the North Fork Shoshone — big brown and rainbow water. The cylinder shows live flow (cfs), low = wadeable, high = fast water. Hover a trout for the species; tap it for a guide.

Tailwater flows swing hard with irrigation and dam release; always check the schedule before wading.

River Catfish — Warm-Water Rivers

Warmwater fishing runs the lower reservoirs and river bottoms. Live stage (ft) with action and flood marked. Hover a fish for the species; tap it for a guide.

Float Rivers — Paddle & Wade

The Snake below the Tetons and the Green through the high desert — classic trout floats. Live USGS gage height (ft); each tube marks FLOAT, EXPERT and FLOOD. Hover a fish; tap it for an outfitter.

These rivers are runoff-driven — high and fast in spring melt, dropping into shape through summer.
