About Alcova Reservoir
Anglers know Alcova Reservoir as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of Wyoming, United States. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Alcova Reservoir is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
- For Walleye
Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as walleye are typically more active during these low-light periods; use a slow, deliberate retrieve, as walleye often prefer a subtle presentation.
