Lake Trout On The FLY!!!



So after a long day of sitting at the shop watching it rain Isaiah and I decided it was time to find a lake and start chucking streamers.  We went to a lake only minutes away from the shop launched the drift boat and headed out.  Four casts later I hooked into this pig of a trout and the fight was on.  At one point I had around 20yds of backing out and were trying to trying to catch up to him as he headed to the center of the lake.  After a 30 minute fight we were able to snap some pictures and release him.  Just an incredible evening and an amazing fish!!!  Stay tuned for more reports from the Dubois area!!

Another Hard Day At The Office

Here are a couple of pictures of my friends from Colorado.  I was fortunate enough to meet John and Rick late this spring at the shop and we have been keeping intouch ever since.  Like everyone else they are waiting for the upper section of the Wind to clear so we can show them some serious freestone river fishing.  As you can tell from the pictures they are finding ways to beet the runnoff!  Nice work guys!!  Look forward to seeing you again soon!    

Dubois Fishing Report

Sorry for the lack of updates.  The Wind River Valley has started to warm up and the fishing is finally starting to pick up.  The Wind River is slowly starting to go down and is trying to clear up.  A couple more weeks and I think we will be in business.  Our high mountain lakes are finally ice free and are fishing very well.  August through October are going to be killer months for fishing the Wind River if you are going to be in our neck of the woods during this time give us a call and we will get you out in the water!  (307) 851.4191
