Well now that its already August we are finally starting to see things pick up here in Dubois.  All of the waters are clearing up and are are starting to fish.  We are starting to see the hoppers move into the Dubois area from the valley and the population looks to be bigger than last years!  The next couple of months are going to great ones to be on the water, our calendar is filling up quickly so if you are interested in a fly fishing trip please let us know and we will get you on the books!!!  (307) 851.4191

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

Rick Bauer with a big Wind River brown

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

Chucks first fish on a fly!!!!

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!

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.
