The
Sports Lure Travel Adventures presents:
Fly-Fishing
trips in the Big Horn Mountains, Wyoming
<<daily
fishing trips with local guides>>
Fly fishing in
Wyoming is like stepping
back in time. The unspoiled rivers, crystal lakes and alpine
streams are still largely untapped
and brimming with trout. While wading
through a creek, you are probably more likely to see a deer or antelope than another
person. Wyoming has some of the best fishing in the country and
there’s a lot of it. From the Colorado/Wyoming border north of I-80, there are 2,000 catchable fish per mile in
sections of the North Platte. Fishing
streams in the Bighorn National Forest are a good option for Brookies and Rainbows, while the Cloud Peak Wilderness area has numerous
lakes with Rainbows,
Cutthroat, Grayling and Lake Trout.
