Summertime is just about here and with the weather starting to heat up, so is the fishing across much of Wyoming!  Fishing conditions should continue to improve as we expect summer-like temperatures statewide all the way through the weekend.

Free fishing day is this Saturday, so there is no excuse not to grab a fishing pole and head out to your favorite fishing spot and don't forget to take the kids!!

But the real question is - where to go?  Should you head to the lake or hit the river? Of course there is also what to use to entice the fish to bite?

Let's take a look and see what the first weekend in June has in store for us.
