Trip cost for 1 or 2 anglers: Please inquire as to current pricing at 307-690-1139 or [email protected].

Imagine fly fishing a small stream that might see a dozen anglers per season and fishing only dry flies to rising native cutthroat trout. This is what it’s like to fish one of the streams in our backcountry program. This tour is great for all fly fishing skill levels from novice/beginner fishermen looking to learn fly fishing to the experienced angler looking to get away from it all. Our guides are Wyoming backcountry experts and know the best reaches of these creeks as they do not all fish the same. Check our blog for the latest reports and conditions.

We have access to over 50 miles of water spread out over five different creeks. We will take you to the creek that is fishing best at the moment and fits your physical ability. The typical day consists of meeting at 7am and driving for about an hour. From there we will hike in to our fishing spots. Hiking is all above 7000 feet in elevation and is tailored to your ability.
