 We
have access to some of the finest blue ribbon trout fishing water in
the Rocky Mountain region, with a variety of trout to include
Cutthroat, Golden, Brook, Brown and Rainbow. There are also some very
exciting hybrid trout, Goldens (rainbow & golden cross) and Splake
(brook & lake trout cross). The combination of native and cross-breads
give the angler a wide variety of trout fishing. This all adds up to a
trout fisherman's heaven.

REQUEST INFORMATION....
Trout fishing in Wyoming’s high country is very good throughout the
summer and fall months. The spring months of May and June are not as
productive due to spring break up with high water in the streams and
possible ice on the lakes.

 Suggested
Rods
The best types of fishing rods are the take down pack rods. We can
pack take down two-piece rods as well, but please, no one-piece rods
longer than five feet, as they are difficult to pack and may get
broken.
Suggested Fishing Tackle and Lures
Trout fishing in Wyoming's high country is very good throughout the
summer and fall months. The spring months of May and June are not as
productive as later months due to spring runoff in the streams and
possible ice on the lakes. I have separated the fishing tackle into
two categories: spin fishing and fly fishing. Listed below are the
basics. I'm sure that you have your favorite lures that I may not have
listed, so be sure to bring them along.
Fly Fishing
Rods: Be sure that you have cases for these rods. Graphite 8 to
9 feet; 4, 5, or 6 weight work best.
Reels: Single action with extra spool for line change. Be sure
the reel, line, and rod are matched.
Line: Floating double taper or weight forward and a sinking or
wet type. Having both types will be of a benefit to you.
Tapered Leader: Assorted sizes and lengths.
Tippet Material: Assorted sizes.

Spin Fishing
Rods: Light and medium action (no-one piece
rods as they are too long to pack and could get broken or damaged).
Reels: This is your choice. Any open or closed face reel will
do fine as well as any of the fine bait casting reels.
Line: 4 or 6 pound test, monofilament.
Float tube or belly boat: Call us about the specific area
you'll be fishing, as a tube may not be necessary.
Lures: (in no particular order)
- Dardevle (¼, 2/5)
- Flatfish (F4)
- Crocodile (¼, ¾)
- Little Cleo (1/8, ¼)
- Panther Martin (1/16, 1/8, ¼)
- Rooster Tail (1/16, 1/8, ¼)
- Mepps Killer Kits (dressed or plain, size #1)
Good assortments of colors are important. Some of
the more popular are red and yellow, red and black, green and black,
chartreuse, silver, and hammered brass with red.
This is but a small sampling of fly's that will
work. There are many others that do as well. Also, fly-fishing may be
done with a spinning rod and bobber, but may not be as productive. You
may want to bring along a pair of waders. One thing is for sure,
fishing is a great sport no matter what type of gear you use.
