Wyoming doesn't care about your schedule. You will make plans. Wyoming will make different plans. You will study maps, book accommodations, research hatches, and drive twelve hours through sagebrush convinced you know exactly what you're doing. Then Wyoming will hand you a dirt road that wasn't on the map, a small creek that wasn't in any article, and a cutthroat trout that hasn't been asked a difficult question since the Eisenhower administration — and you will catch so many fish on a size 10 Yellow Humpy that you will forget what you originally drove twelve hours to do. This happened to me more than once. I am not complaining.

But underneath all that mess lives a legitimately impressive variety of fish: trophy bass, walleye, slab crappie, musky pushing 50 inches, and panfish that'll embarrass your dignity. Worth every bite.
