Beautiful Cutthroat from high mountain lake near Dubois, Wyoming from the Spring of 2010
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.
