| North Platte River The upper and lower meadows set between Pathfinder dam and the mouth of Fremont Canyon. |
We offer lessons and guiding in the Fremont Canyon area (upper and lower meadows), located in Wyoming.
Q: Is this a tailwater and is it easy to access?
A: Yes it is a tailwater. Yes, it is easy to access the lower and upper sections
Q: I hear this stretch of river gets fished hard, is this true?
A: Yes - with easy parking and walking, it's a popular spot. Many times we only fish this area for up to four hours, hitting early A.M or late P.M. hatches.
Q: Can we walk down the river and access the canyon?
A: Yes - it will take more time. Many times we will briefly enter the canyon and fish our way back to the bridge/parking lot - offers a unique canyon/meadows fishing experience.
Q: About how many fish can I expect to catch, and what is the size range?
A: Depending on skill level, and length of time fishing, we've had clients catch up to 20 fish, and the average size range is 14" - 20", with a few up to 30".
Q: What techniques will we use?
A: Nearly all techniques work. Using fly rods 4wt-6wt, we regularly use tight-line and drop-shot nymphing, dry flies, dry-dropper, and downstream wet-fly swings.
Q: We might stay in the Alcova or Casper area - can we do a fly casting lesson one day, and then hire you to guide us the next day?
A: Yes. We highly recommend the combination of fly casting lessons and guiding. In fact, we can customize a fly fishing program for you, e.g. 1-2 hours casting instruction, followed by 2-6 hours of guiding (catching fish), on the same day or multiple days.
Q: How long is a day of guiding and what are your prices?
A: We offer four, six, and eight hours per day. Please see pricing information in the link below.
