Ham's Fork

The Hams Fork headwaters originate at less than 10,000 feet. From the headwaters, the first 16 miles of the river lie on National Forest lands. Then the river flows thru private lands, but some access is available on tailwaters south of Viva Naughton and Kemmerer Reservoirs. Respect the rules when fishing the easement land. Be sure to pick up a current Wyoming fishing regulations book, or check locally for regs.

We have listed 3 access points for you here.

You can find stream flow information on ourreports page. There's a link to a hatch chart on our Hatch Charts page
