Laramie River Fishing Report:

 

The Big Laramie River near Woods Landing, Wyoming has been fishing great during pre run off conditions.  Currently, it is safe to say that the river is high and blown out.  The City of Laramie has issued flood warnings within the city for affected infrastructure.  However, it seems as though we may have passed the peak run off.  As of today, current stream flows at the Laramie USGS gauge are 750 cfs.    Please check flows here before your outing.  https://waterdata.usgs.gov/wy/nwis/uv/?site_no=06660000&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060,00010

 

The sole purpose of this updated fishing report is to announce the Grey Drake hatch.  This much anticipated event usually occurs the end of June into the first few weeks of July.  Similarly, just like the Green Drake hatch on the Encampment River.  Every trout in the river is looking up!  In addition to the high water, we have seen a ton of fish gorging themselves the past few days.  The river conditions and clarity improve by the day.

 

Common flies to use on the upper reaches of the Big Laramie are Caddis.  Golden Stonefly nymphs.  Salmon fly nymphs.  Stimulators. Sofa Pillow style Salmon Fly dry flies.  As mentioned before, Grey Drake nymphs and cripples are the top bugs right now to have in your box.  Please check out our top flies for the Laramie River here.  https://highplainsflyfishing.com/shop/

 

Please call us anytime at 307-399-9464 for current conditions and river flows.  We still have a few openings for guided trips for July/August.  We hope to fish with new and old friends this season in 2019!
