Big Bow

This is a nice rainbow I hooked into a couple weeks ago.  The water looked just like Lipton Ice Tea but it was clear and we managed to pick up a couple of fish on nymphs.  The waters around Dubois are still in limbo.  The Wind River seems to be getting higher and is off color.  I hear rumor that the lakes are still frozen but will hopefully get a chance to go check them out this weekend.  One of our guides is floating the Big Horn through Thermopolis today and I'm eager to hear how the fishing was.  Stay tuned for more photos and fly fishing reports from the Dubois and the surrounding areas!

the streamer bite

state park section of wind river canyon

On Monday I met up with friend and fellow guide, Charles in Wind River Canyon.  He showed me how the jet boat trips worked in the river and i was impressed.  The water was very high which pushed fish to the banks so I chucked streamers all day.  These were 2 of the browns I pulled into the boat.  If you are interested in a jet boat trip on the state park section of Wind River Canyon or float trip on the Big Horn call us at the shop and we will put you intouch with our friends 307 Outfitters.

Very Healthy Bow

Nice Work Garrett!
Our friend Garrett has really been getting after the fish as of late.  This is one of many that he has fooled in the last couple of days.  He has been hooking into some monsters including a 29 inch Rainbow!  So if you can find clear water then it's worth getting your line wet.  The rivers are getting higher everyday with the recent warm weather we have had.  So until the ice starts coming off the lakes we are going to be in limbo for a few days as far as fishing goes.  If you are not worried about a longer drive we recommend fishing the lower section of the Wind River below Boysen Reservoir.  If this sounds like something you might be interested in we recommend going with 307 Outfitters out of Lander.  Call us at the shop for any questions and more info.
