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!
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

The Upper North Platte river near Saratoga is opening up and ice free on many sections. Fishing with two fly nymph rigs has been productive along with various streamers! Spring fishing windows can be epic. The weather this weekend should be in the 50’s. We have lots of availability. Give us a shout if you want to get out!
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.
