Fullday lake fishing charter with professional guide Scott BorupSmall group experience accommodating maximum two guestsExpert guidance through Wyoming's scenic fishing locations
When you're ready to escape the crowds and chase some serious fish in Wyoming's pristine waters, this full-day charter with Guide Scott Borup is exactly what you've been looking for. This isn't your typical weekend fishing trip – we're talking about eight solid hours on some of the best fishing waters Wyoming has to offer, with a guide who knows these lakes like the back of his hand. Scott's been putting clients on fish for years, and his reputation speaks for itself. You'll spend the day targeting multiple species in waters that consistently produce trophy-class fish, all while soaking in the kind of scenery that makes Wyoming fishing legendary.
This top-rated charter runs for a full eight hours, giving you plenty of time to work different spots and dial in on what's biting. Scott keeps his trips intimate with just two anglers max, so you're getting personalized attention and won't be fighting for rod space or prime fishing spots. The beauty of Wyoming's lake fishing is the variety – you might start the morning working shallow bays for pike, then move to deeper structure for walleye as the day progresses. Scott reads the water conditions, weather patterns, and seasonal movements to put you where the fish are most active. He's not the type of guide who sticks to one spot all day hoping something happens – expect to move around and really cover water to maximize your chances at multiple species.
Scott comes prepared with all the gear you'll need, but he's also great about explaining techniques so you can improve your own fishing game. Depending on what's working, you might be trolling with downriggers for trout in deeper water, casting spinnerbaits along weed edges for pike, or working jigs and live bait rigs for walleye. Wyoming's lakes can change throughout the day, so having a guide who can adapt techniques on the fly makes all the difference. Scott knows when to switch from aggressive presentations to more finesse approaches, and he'll walk you through everything so you understand why certain baits work better in specific conditions. The tackle is quality stuff – no cheap gear that'll let you down when you hook into a fish of a lifetime.
"So much fun!!! Highly recommend it, Scott knows what to fish with and where the fish are" - Amy
Walleye are the bread and butter of Wyoming lake fishing, and Scott knows how to find them consistently. These fish typically run 2-4 pounds with some real bruisers pushing 8+ pounds in these waters. Walleye feed most actively during low-light periods, so early morning and evening sessions often produce the hottest action. What makes walleye so popular with anglers is their fight – they don't jump like bass, but they pull hard and make long runs. Plus, they're fantastic table fare if you decide to keep a few for dinner.
Rainbow Trout in Wyoming lakes are something special – these aren't your typical stocked fish. Many of these rainbows are holdovers that have grown fat feeding on abundant forage, with fish in the 3-6 pound range being common. Spring and fall are prime times when they're more active in shallower water, but Scott knows the deeper haunts where they hang during summer months. When you hook a healthy Wyoming rainbow, expect acrobatic jumps and powerful runs that'll test your drag system.
Northern Pike bring the excitement factor that keeps adrenaline junkies coming back. These aggressive predators can show up anywhere, but they love hanging around weed beds and structure where they can ambush prey. Pike in these waters regularly hit the 30+ inch mark, with 40-inch fish being caught every season. What makes pike fishing so addictive is the explosive strikes – they hit baits with authority and put on an aerial show that's pure excitement.
Lingcod might surprise you in a Wyoming lake setting, but these bottom dwellers provide steady action when other species are finicky. They're typically found in deeper water around rocky structure and dropoffs. Lingcod aren't the prettiest fish, but they fight hard and grow to impressive sizes. Scott knows the specific depths and structure types where lingcod concentrate, making them a reliable backup when surface action slows down.
Pumpkinseed are the perfect species for when you want consistent action and some variety in your catch. These colorful panfish are abundant in many Wyoming lakes and provide great sport on lighter tackle. They're especially fun during spawning periods when they're concentrated in shallow bays. While they might not be the biggest fish you'll catch, pumpkinseed are scrappy fighters and their beautiful coloration makes for great photos.
This world-class fishing charter fills up fast, especially during peak seasons when multiple species are active simultaneously. Scott's reputation for putting clients on fish has made this a customer favorite, and repeat bookings are common. Eight hours with a professional guide who knows Wyoming waters inside and out isn't something you find everywhere. Whether you're a serious angler looking to add some Wyoming species to your list or someone who wants to experience what makes this state's fishing so renowned, this trip delivers. Don't wait until the prime dates are gone – Wyoming's fishing seasons are shorter than you think, and the best action happens when conditions align perfectly. Book now and get ready for the kind of fishing day that reminds you why you picked up a rod in the first place.
You'll be fishing from a well-equipped motorboat that's perfect for Wyoming's lake waters. This boat comfortably handles up to 2 anglers and comes loaded with everything you need for a successful day on the water. The wireless trolling motor keeps things quiet when you're working structure or following schools of fish, while the fish finder helps locate those prime spots where the big ones are holding. An icebox keeps your drinks cold and your catch fresh throughout the 8-hour charter. The GPS navigation system ensures you hit all the best fishing holes, and the radar comes in handy if weather rolls in. You'll also have VHF radio for safety and communication. Guide Scott brings years of local knowledge to put you on fish, and this boat gives him the tools to make it happen. Whether you're casting to shoreline cover or working deeper water, this setup handles Wyoming's lakes with ease and gives you the platform you need to land that trophy fish.
Ophiodon ElongatusLingcod aren't actually found in Wyoming's freshwater systems - they're a Pacific saltwater species that lives along rocky coastlines from 30-300 feet deep. These gnarly-looking fish with massive heads and sharp teeth average 2-3 feet but can grow much larger. They're bottom dwellers that ambush prey from rocky lairs, using their mottled coloring as camouflage. Peak season runs from late fall through early spring when they move shallow to spawn. What makes lingcod special is their aggressive nature - they'll fight rather than flee, making for exciting battles. They're also excellent table fare with firm, white meat that's perfect for fish and chips. The meat sometimes has a blue-green tint that turns white when cooked. My best tip for lingcod: use heavy jigs and don't be afraid to fish right in the rocks where they hide.
Esox LuciusNorthern pike are Wyoming's freshwater predators, averaging 2-3 feet long with those unmistakable razor-sharp teeth and aggressive attitudes. These ambush hunters love shallow, weedy areas near cover like fallen timber or rock piles, though they'll head to deeper, cooler water during hot summer months. Spring and fall are prime times when they're most active and feeding heavily before and after spawning. What makes pike fishing exciting is their explosive strikes and hard fights - they're pure muscle and attitude. Just be careful around that mouth full of teeth when landing them. They're also surprisingly good eating when prepared right, with firm white meat. Here's something most anglers miss: when you get a pike bite, don't set the hook immediately. Let them run with it for a few seconds since they like to grab, turn, and swallow their prey headfirst.
Lepomis GibbosusPumpkinseed are small, colorful sunfish that typically run 4-8 inches and rarely top a pound, but they're perfect for kids and light tackle fun. These beautifully marked fish with their orange bellies and blue-green sides love shallow, weedy areas of warm ponds and lake edges where they form schools with other sunfish. Late spring through summer is prime time when water temps hit 75-80 degrees and they're actively feeding during daylight hours. What guests enjoy is their willingness to bite and their stunning colors - they're like little jewels on ultralight tackle. They're also decent eating, though small. Kids especially love catching them since they're cooperative and pretty. Here's my tip: use the smallest hooks and lightest line you can get away with, and fish a simple worm under a bobber in 2-4 feet of water near vegetation.
Oncorhynchus MykissRainbow trout are the backbone of Wyoming's trout fishing, typically running 8-24 inches with those beautiful pink stripes and spotted sides. They love cold, clean water between 55-65 degrees and you'll find them in fast-moving streams, deep pools, and around rocky structure. Spring through fall offers the best action, especially during mayfly hatches when they rise aggressively. What guests love most is their acrobatic fight - these fish jump, run, and test your drag like few others. Plus they're fantastic eating with delicate, flaky meat. They're also great indicators of water quality since they only thrive in pristine conditions. My go-to tip for Wyoming rainbows: focus on the deeper runs and eddies during midday heat, then switch to the shallow riffles and pool heads during morning and evening feeding times.
Sander VitreusWalleye are one of Wyoming's most prized game fish, running 12-30 inches and known for their distinctive glassy eyes that help them hunt in low light. You'll find them hanging around rocky drop-offs, sand flats, and weed edges in 10-20 feet of water during the day. They move shallow at dusk and dawn to feed, making early morning and evening your best shots. What makes walleye special is their incredible table fare - firm, white, flaky meat that's hard to beat. They're also smart fighters that test your skills without the flashy jumps. Here's a local trick: when you feel that subtle walleye bite, don't set the hook hard. Just lift the rod tip slowly and start reeling - they often hook themselves and a hard set will pull the bait right out of their mouth.
