DRIFTBOAT FLOAT FISHING TRIPS
From the foot of the Medicine Bow Mountains onto the plains of Southern
Wyoming flows a hidden treasure, the North Plate River. The bounty
includes stunning panoramic scenery, prolific wildlife, and an outstanding
trout fishery. Fly Fishing on the North Platte offers a rare experience
of solitude with the opportunity to fish miles of uncrowded Blue
Ribbon water. From the forested canyons in the springtime to the
high bluffs of the desert country in the summer and fall, the North
Platte offers the challenge and beauty of one of the finest freestone
rivers in the country.
GRAY REEF
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.
