Kearny Reservoir is a public lake in Johnson County, Wyoming, managed by Wyoming Game and Fish Department. It is public water managed for fishing by Wyoming Game and Fish. Public access confirmed via WGFD Fishing Guide water.
A Wyoming trout reservoir or lake — stocked and holdover rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat trout, some with lake trout; most sit in the mountains or foothills with a state or Forest Service ramp.
Kearny Reservoir covers about 177 acres in the Sheridan Region (Bighorn Mountains & Powder River) region. Anglers here mostly fish for brook trout, brown trout, lake trout, rainbow trout. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Kearny Lake Reservoir and Highland Park Lake.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Wyoming; some waters have seasonal closures (spring spawning, winter) and the cutthroat-conservation and trophy waters post their own rules — check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations.
Boats: The big reservoirs (Flaming Gorge, Boysen, Seminoe, Pathfinder, Glendo, Buffalo Bill, Keyhole) take trailered boats via a state-park or BLM ramp; mountain lakes are hike-in or car-top and rivers are drift-boat, raft or wade. All boats need an AIS decal and inspection.
Bank & bivvy camping: Wyoming is roughly half federal land — dispersed camping is allowed on most BLM and Forest Service ground along these waters, plus developed Forest Service, BLM and state-park campgrounds on nearly every reservoir.
Tackle: The general Wyoming trout creel is 6 (only 1 over 20 inches), but many waters carry reduced limits, slot limits, artificial-only or catch-and-release rules -- cutthroat-conservation streams, Blue Ribbon water and the tailwaters especially. Check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations.
Anyone 14 or older needs a Wyoming fishing licence — the resident annual is about $27, the non-resident annual about $102 (Wyoming's non-resident fee is one of the highest), with non-resident daily (~$14) and 5-day options. A Conservation Stamp (about $21.50, valid multiple years) is also required. Wyoming residents 65 and older buy a discounted licence; under-14 fish free with a licensed adult. Buy from Wyoming Game and Fish at wgfd.wyo.gov. A Wyoming fishing licence plus a Conservation Stamp covers this water — it is on WGFD's Fishing Guide. Wyoming grants no public right to a private streambed: where a stream crosses private land, fish from public land, a WGFD walk-in or Public Access Area, or a bridge right-of-way.
