North Platte River Float Trips
North Platte River Float Trips -
The majority of our float fishing trips take place on the freestone sections of the Upper North Platte River near Saratoga, Wyoming. When conditions are unfavorable on the upper river, we float Miracle Mile and Grey Reef North Platte River tail water sections and the Encampment river. We offer several types of fishing trips, the most popular being float trips. We utilize 16 ft Clackacraft hard side drift boats as well as rafts equipped with fishing/oar frames. Our drift boats and rafts accommodate two anglers plus the oarsman/guide in the center seat. Our guides are trained oarsman with decades of experience.
Things to bring with you on your float trip:
Hat
Polarized sunglasses
Sunscreen
Rain jacket - warm layers of clothing as inclement weather is always a possiblility
Camera - and any other personal items you may want with you
Float trips start at a “launching point” on the river. We float and fish down to a “half way” point where we pull off (public land) and break for lunch. We then continue on to a “takeout” destination to finish off the day.
Full Day Trips - 6-8/hrs in duration
Half Day Trips - 4-5/hrs in duration
Float trips are a great option for anglers looking to access prime fly fishing and the experience of a scenic river float all at the same time. Float trips are also the best option for those anglers who may be unable to participate hiking/walking/wade fishing trips. Most guides will float you down the river and hope you catch a fish or two. We work the river by back rowing prime runs and circulate them many times, ensuring that you catch 6-8 fish out of each good hole on the entire stretch.

North Platte River
Prospect creek access to Bennett Peak. This stretch of the river is infamous not only for it's great Wyoming fly fishing but also for it's abundant wildlife spotting, bald eagles, moose, deer, etc. Treasure Island to Saratoga is probably the most popular float fishing stretch during the summer months. It is common to have 30-40 fish days on float trips!
We love to fly fish,but also cater to gear/spin fisherman.
Encampment River
This Southeastern Wyoming river has prolific Stonefly and Green Drake hatches. Due to private ownership, access is limited. Another fly fisherman's dream.
Big Laramie River
This river may be floated by river raft during the spring months when the waters are more swollen. However, there is a short window of opportunity for this so book your guided Wyoming fly fishing trip early!
