Wind River Canyon

WIND RIVER CANYON

Wind River Canyon (Upper & Lower)
The Wind River Canyon is second to none, the Browns, Rainbows, Cutthroat, Cutt-Bows, and Carp, who live here are, just plain, BIG! Our exclusive access to guiding the Wind River Canyon with the only commercial outfitting permit issued by the Shoshone and Arapaho Tribes of the Wind River Reservation allows us to focus on conservation. Our 29 years and counting mantra: “we are on the side of the fish.” What this really amounts to is we follow a self-imposed two boat/day limit in the Wind River Canyon. We are convinced this keeps the pressure to a minimum and allows the big fish room to roam and not develop the “spookiness” that other fisheries experience from too much angling pressure. 

Each day we limit our guided fly fishing floats to one boat in the upper half of the Wind River Canyon and one in the lower half of the Wind River Canyon. Big fish, breath taking scenery, navigating action filled rapids, nymph and streamer fishing in the late spring and early summer to dry fly action throughout the summer and fall, the Wind River Canyon has it all.
