Big stonefly nymph patterns such as the Pats Rubber Legs. Double Bead Peacock Stonefly nymphs.  Halfback nymphs have been producing nice fish in off color water. We have been pulling fish off the banks with our custom articulated streamers.  Natural,white,and brown/yellow are best colors.

However, if you’re planning a vacation during May.  We got you covered! The North Platte tail waters. Miracle Mile and Grey Reef are running clear. Fortunately, both of these blue ribbon trout fisheries are not affected by run off. Miracle Mile is currently flowing at 2700 cfs and is perfect for float trips.

With this Grey Reef fishing report, we are excited to announce the presence of Grayling introduced into the Grey Reef.  Several outfitters have reported solid catch rates.  The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has been stocking near Speas Fish Hatchery outside of Casper, Wyoming.

Check out our best flies for Grey Reef on our online custom fly shop here. https://highplainsflyfishing.com/shop/

Two fly nymph rigs have been the ticket for our clients and guides.  However, our big custom articulated streamers are producing trophy browns and rainbows.  Consequently, dry fly fishing has been great when conditions are right.

Nymphing with small midges,scuds,and baetis emergers are the key. On the other hand, don’t be afraid to think outside the box on fly selection.  Correct presentations with dead drifts and proper line mending is more important. Alternatively, a lot of fish have been caught on the swing.

Please call us at 307-399-9464 anytime with questions or booking information.  Our guides are passionate about fly fishing and have the river dialed in.  We strive to give you the most up to date fishing reports and the best fishing opportunities.

Tight Lines!

Grey Reef fishing report

Fishing on the Reef has been on fire after the flush. We have been catching boat loads of trout. You can expect 50-75 fish days right now! Remember that the BLM has closed fishing for the month of April from the Junk Hole down to the Outhouse Hole for spawning fish. Please do your part and do not walk on spawning beds.
It is an awesome spectacle to see 25-30 inch bows this time of year, but please leave these fish to do their thing for the health of this prolific fishery. Streamer fishing for monster browns has been awesome down below the redds.
We still have plenty of availability for April and May. Give us a call 307-399-9464

Miracle Mile Fishing Report-Great day on Friday, March 30th with our family dentist float fishing Miracle Mile. Pre-spawn rainbows are stacking up, and fishing is off the hook! We threw big articulated streamers and landed a few monster browns. Two fly nymph rigs were also productive with scuds,leeches, and midges. Bugs to drift are size 20 juju baetis,brown and red wd40’s,pink squirmy worms,and egg patterns. Brown,Black,and Natural Hot head leech and Pine Squirrel Leeches. Size 16 pink,tan,olive flash back scuds. Articulated streamers in the white,natural, and olive variations are the ticket!
Flows from Kortes dam were around 2800cfs. Float fishing is hands down the best way to reach deep holes where big fish are holding,and the ability to fish every good run on the entire stretch down to Pathfinder.

Float Fishing – Upper North Platte River

The Upper North Platte River is formed near Walden Colorado by the confluence of several small tributary rivers and streams. This "Gem of the Rockies" flows down through what is known as Northgate Canyon.(6 Mile Gap) This is some of the best dry fly and nymph fishing around! The “Gate” is typically accessed with River Rafts instead of a hard side drift boat. This a favorite with scenic anglers.
