Fall fishing at the Miracle Mile has been fair to good during October/November.  Many trophy size rainbows and especially brown trout, have graced the nets of anglers.  Colder water and air temperatures have improved the bite significantly.  Fish are aggressive and fighting hard.  Nymph fishing with two fly rigs and swinging big streamers has been the ticket.  Mid day Blue Wing Olive and Midge hatches have been heavy producing pods of fish rising.

Fall brown trout spawn

 

While it is an awesome spectacle to see 25-30 inch browns spawned up below the dam this time of year, we encourage anglers to NOT target or sight fish to spawning brown trout on their beds.   Out of respect for one of the best trout fisheries in the world, please practice steward of the land techniques and always catch and release.  Its simply not worth it.

The Mile is fishing great! Stream flows are fluctuating at 500 cfs. Pre spawn rainbows are starting to stage up from Pathfinder Reservoir. Two fly nymph rigs with small bugs and egg patterns have been the ticket.

Scuds,red and brown midges,leeches,and emerger patterns are on the menu. Therefore, look for small baetis (Blue wing olive) coming off on days above 40 degrees. We have been swinging big streamers down below the bridge in slower water. Which, in turn, has produced some nice brown trout. Out of respect for one of the finest tail water fisheries in the world, please be mindful of rainbow trout spawning beds. Its simply not worth it.

Current snowpack in the high country of Colorado/Wyoming is at 128%. We anticipate plenty of water to play on this summer.  We are permitted to run the entire North Platte River system from the Wyoming/Colorado border all the way to Alcova, Wyoming. 240 miles.  Great for overnight and multiple day trips upstream from Miracle Mile.

Miracle Mile Fishing Report:

What else can we say, its Hopper time! We have been getting some solid eats on all sorts of killer hopper patterns such as Amys Ants,Morrish Hoppers,and Rainys Hoppers. Tan,brown,yellow,purple,and pink variations have been the best.

Dry dropper rigs with non bead head nymphs without a lot of flash have been producing in shallow riffles and runs. Pmds,Yellow Sally’s,and Trico spinners are the bugs you will need in your box.

The morning Trico hatch gets better by the day producing insane spinner falls! Every trout in the river seems to be keying in on them.  Be sure to have a few sunken spinners in your fly arsenal.

Flows have been dropped and are fluctuating from 800 to 830 cfs. Fortunately, still plenty of water to float and wade especially well. Water temps are staying cold in the 50’s.

The streamer bite is there to the dedicated angler. Alternatively,try working off the swing with a down and across presentation,and ripping your fly against the current for explosive strikes! This 20 inch Walleye was caught on a 6 inch articulated streamer.

Thankfully, we already have clients booking up for fall streamer fishing hunting trophy browns. We look forward to fishing with return clients and meeting new friends on the river. Please call 307-399-9464 for current conditions and booking info.
