Saratoga Wyoming Fishing Report-North Platte River:

We recently took a trip to Saratoga and floated from Treasure Island to Saratoga. To our surprise, the water clarity was great with pre run off conditions. Visibility towards the banks was 1-2 feet, perfect for chucking streamers.

One thing we love about the Upper North Platte is the solitude. We had the river all to ourselves. As usual, we caught fish on dries,nymphs, and streamers.

The baetis or Blue Wing Olive hatch came off strong during mid afternoon. We came upon some stretches where the river looked like it was boiling from all of the rise forms.  Midges where also hatching off like crazy!

Snow pack for the Wyoming/Colorado high country is at 128%. We anticipate great float conditions for the whole summer on the Upper North Platte. Last year in 2018, the river dropped drastically after June 15th.

Luckily, with our years of experience, we know stretches that fish great during low flow periods. We also fish the tail waters Miracle Mile and Grey Reef when the upper reaches are blown out.

Please check out our flow chart links for Northgate and Seminoe Reservoir before your float trip outing. Please feel free to call 307-399-9464 anytime for current flows and conditions. We hope to fish with new and old friends in 2019!

2019 Lake Hattie Fishing Report:

Lake Hattie has fishable open water thanks to the Wyoming wind the past few days. Rainbow trout are gearing up for the spring spawn. Egg sacks and egg patterns are popular among bait fisherman this time of year. Dead sticking balanced leeches and midge patterns under an indicator is a proven tactic with fly fisherman. Therefore, our custom balanced Tui Chub and egg sucking leeches have been super productive since ice off. Similarly, red and purple chironomids, such as the Candy Cane larva are very productive.

Please contact the Wyoming Game and Fish Department for current fishing and boating regulations here: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/fishing-and-boating

Spin fisherman are tearing it up with an assortment of Rapalas, and spoons.  As well as, spinners like Panther Martins and Rooster Tails. Furthermore, our favorite color variation is black/yellow body, with a gold spoon Panther Martin.

Our custom articulated War Bonnet streamer fished on floating and sink tip lines fit the bill nicely for the lobster size crayfish that live in Lake Hattie. Designed specifically for this water.
