    5.12.2016 Fancy the idea of getting off the river, kicking your boots off and sitting next to a fire and chillaxing at our new riverside camp!  Recently, I purchased a pop up camper that’s fully equipped with a a/c, heater, comfy heated beds and a warm shower. For a limited time this summer we will have another camper that our chef will have in tow that sleeps the guide and him and the other camper will sleep one, […]

Wyoming Fishing and Runoff Update 4.23.2016 The latest Wyoming fishing and runoff update so far this spring has been consistent with the wild temperature and moisture swings that we’ve been experiencing now for quite some time. All I know if you look at the charts you can see for yourself. I’m no hydrologist or meteorologist, but I can tell you that the weather patterns are definitely hitting the extremes; both lows and highs. We lost about 10% of the snowpack […]

4.7.2016 Chironomid Fishing Techniques Chironomids undergo a complete metamorphosis, including a larva, pupa, and adult stage. Chironomids will live in the larva stage for up to two years before turning into pupa to begin their migration to the surface to hatch into adults. Trout feed on chironomid larva, pupa, and adults. However, chironomids are most often sought after by trout during the pupa’s ascent to the surface. Chironomid hatches occur year round, and are usually the first and last hatches […]

One of my favorite […]

3/7/2016 Wyoming Snowpack It’s been about a month since the last time I blogged about the Wyoming  snowpack and thankfully, it’s still holding steady. We’ve had some unseasonably mild temps, mixed with rain in the valleys over the past few weeks, which has melted the low level snowpack. Therefore, the water temps are increasing in the rivers and the fish are getting more and more active. Aw yeah!!! The Upper Snake Reservoir system is holding 66% of it’s storage capacity […]
