You are almost here. If you found my website you are most likely planning a trip to my home area of the Upper North Platte River system, one of Wyoming’s fly fishing hidden treasures. Come along and join me for some of the best trout fishing in Wyoming. This is home to thousands of trout and maybe a few hundred anglers the entire summer and fall season. This "secret" fly fishing area has never seen the crowds of fisherman of most big named rivers. Don’t be fooled - we have some of the best trout fishing in the west with miles of water.I have guided here for 16 years now for pro athletes, professional coaches, astronauts, congressmen and just plain regular people like you and me. I like making anglers happy and trout less so! I ‘m on the river daily throughout the season and am tuned in with what’s happening when and where. Always, references available if you need a little reassurance. I ‘ll make lodging arrangements for you and take away that guessing game of what will best suit you. You just make a commitment to me and I shall return the gesture.
All of my fly fishing guiding takes place in canyons, two which are designated wilderness areas. No crowds! These areas require a little effort to reap the rewards. We might carry a raft a 150 yards, or hike a mile or three. The drive might take two hours. But beautiful pine trees, granite, rocks, and rivers lined with boulders and pockets and pools are home to great Wyoming trout fishing within the National Forest and wilderness areas. You’ll wonder where everyone else went.Trout Country! 
In all my years of guiding this valley the most memorable are the nights spent on the bank of the streams. Dinner over a fire, cool mountain air, and a quiet night under the stars.
The first eight Fridays of the season are the days trout fishing goes extreme! I make a plan, grab a fishing guide friend and we head to the water. We might leave town as early as 5 a.m.
I go the extra distance that other outfitters won’t! I never fish somewhere because it’s an easy shuttle or a shorter drive. I go where the fly fishing is good and the trout are feasting. When you hike a mile or two miles and make that first cast and a fish slams your dry fly without another soul around you will understand the difference. I know every guided trip can be a gamble, especially if you end up with an inexperienced guide. You won’t find that here. Rest assured that you will find your comfort zone. No matter if you are a novice angler or a seasoned pro. I know you’re here to get away and catch some fish. If you don’t catch fish while fishing with me then most likely you are not going to catch ‘em that day.
We are located at the junction of Hwy’s 230 & 130 in Southeastern Wyoming. It has a queen, and a full bed, has fully equipped kitchen, full bath, Direct TV, and is handicap accessible. Kick back, relax, fish the beautiful North Platte and Encampment Rivers, hunt for that Trophy Game or travel the scenic byways throughout our beautiful state of Wyoming.
