Popo Agie River
The Popo Agie River starts in the Wind Rivers, flowing northeast and into Montana. Its start is in Bighorn National Forest, where access is good. After flowing onto the plains, most land is privately held.
Be sure to pick up a current Wyoming fishing regulations book, or check locally for regs. Parts of this river are catch and release.
We have listed several access points on the Popo Agie. See the map.
