TWIN BUTTES INFORMATION	Twin Buttes is a 250-acre impoundment that contains rainbows and browns averaging 12 to 25+ inches. This reservoir offers the angler a great opportunity to catch a true trophy brown in the eight-pound range. Fishing at Twin Buttes is best in the fall when the browns are trying to spawn. Look for fish to be in the shallows with a gravely bottom. There are two boat ramps and overnight camping, but no hookups.

	GALETT FISHING REPORT
DATE	5/8/08
	LARAMIE AREA WEATHER laramie weather cam
FISHING CONDITIONS	Galett had a tough winter. It appears that we lost Galett again this winter according to the Wyoming Game and Fish fisheries biologist. It has been restocked so there are fish to be caught.

GALETT INFORMATION	Galett is the smallest of the Laramie Plains Lakes, at only 34 surface acres. It has rainbow trout from 12 to 24 inches and grass carp. We have good carry over fish at Galett the past couple of winters thanks to efforts from the Wyoming Game & Fish aeration systems. This impoundment is an extremely shallow lake with great vegetation growth full of damsel nymphs and scuds.

	MEEBOER FISHING REPORT
DATE	5/8/08
	LARAMIE AREA WEATHER laramie weather cam
FISHING CONDITIONS	Meeboer is open and fishing well. We did have a reported partial winter kill in Meeboer. There are still reports of larger fish being caught, meaning we didn't loose every fish in the lake.

FLY PATTERNS	BH Wooly Bugger in Black, Brown, & Olive BH Hale Bopp Leech Black, Olive Olive Scuds Stillwater Stimulators Chironomids Olive Hares Ears Squirrel Leeches Natural & Black
MEEBOER INFORMATION	Meeboer is a 119-acre reservoir that grows fish faster than any of the other plains lakes. Recent efforts by the Wyoming Game & Fish have allowed us carry over fish the past couple of years, which has greatly increased the rainbows average size. Prior to these efforts fish averaged 10-14 inches but now fish in the six to ten pound plus range have been more common.
