Thread: North Platte river WY

  1. #1

    Default North Platte river WY

    Hello everyone,

    I am considering a trip to Casper, WY and was wondering if anyone had any info on the grey reef and miracle mile sections of the North Platte. Like what kind of water is it, wadeable or need to float, what hatches to expect the 2nd or 3rd week of April, places to stay and eat, any general info of the area would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks

    riz

    Check these guys out. They can help with everything from what flies you need to guided trips. There is quite a bit of water that is only accessible through private land and these guys have access to most all of it. The shop is right on the river. There are hatch charts and flow reports on their website. You will probably have to stop there for a license anyway.

    "Grey Reef is a very forgiving place to wade fish as the river bottom is not difficult to walk on. The bottom of the river is a variety of sand, gravel, cobble and silt.

    While Grey Reef has plenty of public access, most of it flows through private land.... In Wyoming the bottom of the river belongs to the land owner. Wading, anchoring or even beaching your boat is considered trespassing in Wyoming. " http://www.northplatteflyfishing.com/greyreef.php Floating, more expensive, but less hassle and more fish. Rentals and ferrying is available. http://www.northplatteflyfishing.com/miraclemile.php a different streatch entirely. Check out the Casper fly shops on your way through for tips and current river info and hatches. Loads of accomodations/restuarants in the Casper area which thin out fast as you head up toward the fishing.
    Good Fishing,
