Laramie River

and the Little Laramie

The Laramie River starts in Colorado, near Rocky Mountain National Park, into Wyoming, through Laramie and into the North Platte. Most of the river is on private land, but there is some access on USFS/BLM land and some provided by WF&G. Be sure to pick up a current Wyoming fishing regulations book, or check locally for regs.
