Gray Reef, the extraordinary tailwater section on the North Platte, is a flyfishing destination that generates superlatives. Fastest, strongest and biggest are words frequently use to describe the fish here. Rainbows between 18-20 inches are quite common and landing them is kind of like flying a kite on a fly rod in a Wyoming gale. These are just the middleweights of the river; the real brutes will test your tackle and skills to the very limit. At some point in the battle you will come to understand the meaning of the “Gray Reef Groan”, as your arm gives out before the fish does. We invite you to share 14 years of flyfishing experience on this water and the best shore lunch on the river.
