Pour Coffee. Walk to the River. Sheridan sits at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains where the Tongue River, Goose Creek, and dozens of mountain streams converge. Stay close to the water. ## Sheridan's Premier Fly Fishing Waters The Bighorn Mountains feed a network of freestone streams and spring creeks that rival any fishery in Montana — without the crowds, the guides-only culture, or the $500/day guide fees. ### Tongue River 10-20 min from downtown The main artery. Brown trout up to 20 inches in the lower stretches, with excellent public access points from Dayton through Sheridan. Best fishing: early morning and evening hatches from June through October. ### Goose Creek 15 min from downtown A smaller, more intimate stream that runs through the foothills west of Sheridan. Brook trout and browns in a scenic canyon setting. Wade-friendly and rarely crowded. ### Piney Creek 25 min from downtown Flows from the Bighorns through Story and into the piedmont. Excellent pocket water for dry fly fishing. The upper stretches above Story hold eager cutthroat in cold, clear water. ### North Tongue River 40 min from downtown Above Dayton, the North Tongue enters the Bighorn National Forest and becomes true backcountry fishing — accessible by trail or forest road. Native cutthroat and brook trout in gin-clear water. ### Bighorn River 1.5 hrs from Sheridan The world-class tailwater near Thermopolis. 15-20 inch rainbows are common. This is a float trip — and one of the best dry-fly rivers in the American West. Worth the 1.5-hour drive. ## Properties Near the Water Wyo Stays manages 40+ vacation rentals across Sheridan County — from downtown walkability to mountain-adjacent cabins. For anglers, we recommend properties in three zones: **Dayton & Story.** The closest properties to upper river access. Cabins in Story sit within walking distance of Piney Creek. Dayton properties put you on the Tongue River's best brown trout stretches. **Big Horn.** The town of Big Horn, just south of Sheridan, offers proximity to Goose Creek and easy access to the Bighorn Scenic Byway for high-country fishing. **Downtown Sheridan.** If you want walkable restaurants and craft breweries after a day on the river, downtown properties are 10-20 minutes from most fishing access points. For anglers basing closer to the high country, see our complete collection of [cabins near Bighorn National Forest](/cabins-near-bighorn-national-forest), or browse the broader guide to [Sheridan cabin rentals](/cabins-in-sheridan-wyoming).

Wyoming Game & Fish maintains public fishing access areas (PFAAs) throughout Sheridan County. A Wyoming fishing license is available online at [wgfd.wyo.gov](https://wgfd.wyo.gov) — non-resident daily licenses are $14. **Guided trips** are the fastest way to learn the water. [Fly Shop of the Big Horns](https://theflyshopofthebighorns.com) in Sheridan is the go-to outfitter — they know every riffle, run, and hatch on the local streams. For the Bighorn River tailwater, they offer guided float trips that are genuinely world-class. **Either way, stay with Wyo Stays.** A real kitchen to cook your streamside lunch. Gear storage. A porch to tie flies on. And a licensed brokerage behind every booking — not just someone's side hustle. ## Frequently Asked Questions What are the best fly fishing rivers near Sheridan, Wyoming?
