Huge Brown Trout

So after going to college and working your but off for a few years and then finally graduating most people turn right around and find a job related to their degree and start making money, right?  Well For Isaiah Perez who is one of the top guides at WD Fly Fishing Outfitters that statement above is not true.  After graduation Isaiah headed south for New Zealand.  For 6 months Isaiah tested the islands waters while living out of his van.  This is only one of the many fish he hooked into while being a nomad for half a year!  Now that he has returned home to Wyoming Isaiah is in the shop tying up pattern after pattern in preparation for this years guide season in the Wind River Valley.  Isaiah has been keeping a close eye on the Wind River, East Fork, Wiggins Fork, and the reservation drainage's as the snow pack in the Wind River and Absaroka Mountains starts to let go.  If you need any info on the river conditions and fishing reports for the valley feel free to call Isaiah 307.286.1665 for the most up to date information.

Fishing to be had in the Wind River Valley

Well Spring has definitely plagued the Wind River Valley.  Last week a system came through Central Wyoming and reeked havoc with travelers all across the state.  The Wind River Mountains received over a foot of fresh snow on top of an outstanding snow pack still left to melt from the winter.  The Wind River is starting to swell and is off color but our guides have been on the water and are hooking up.  Night crawlers and Panther Martins are the ticket (just kidding).  Dark colored streamers are receiving the bites from our fish as of right now.  Once the snow pack starts to release its self the Wind will become quite large and off colored.  If you are in the area this time of year we suggest fishing some of the high mountain lakes once the ice is off.  Scuds, leeches and egg patterns are very effective.  If you want a tail water to fish  you will need to buy yourself a Wind River Reservation permit and and then go take advantage of some of the best water in Wyoming.  Dinwoody Creek and Lower Bull Lake Creek will only get better and better as the water volume increases.  For any info on the great fly fishing destinations on the Wind River Indian Reservation feel free to contact us and we will lead you in the right direction.

Warm Days and Lots of Snow

Well after a few very warm days in the Wind River valley you can be sure that the run off is soon to follow.  Our guided trips will be focused mainly on the high mountain lakes that surround Dubois while we let the river do its thing. 

One of the biggest tips I can give people for fishing high off colored water during the spring is don't be afraid of the muddy water!  Fish are used to dealing with high water flows and off colored water so don't be shy about wetting a line.  During this time fish are going to move from their established runs and homes from the center of the river and will be concentrated closer to the banks.  It is here that they can withstand the fast current and also have the best visibility for finding food.  In dark muddy water be sure to use flies that will show up the best.  Hug a black, or dark brown bugger close to the banks and hold on!  You might be surprised at how well fast off colored water can fish!
