"Have you ever known the peace of mind
that comes from
standing knee-deep
in a cool mountain
stream so early in
the morning that
the sun's still hid'n
behind the trees...
poppin' a fly across
the water hoping it
might look kinda tasty
to whopper of a
rainbow trout?"

| Seminoe State Park Good river fishing can be found along the North Platte River from I-80 at Fort Fred Steele State Historic Site all the way to the Gray Reef Area below Alcova Dam. In between lies the famous “Miracle Mile,” well-known for its blue ribbon fishing. Seminoe Reservoir offers some great fishing, particularly in June and July, for both trout and walleye. Both species inhabit the entire reservoir, though there are areas of greater concentration for each. State record walleye have been pulled from Seminoe in years past. |
