We are seeing the tail end of runoff throughout the Upper Platte and Laramie River drainages now. We are still seeing pretty good conditions and insect activity, but all of our rivers and tributary streams are running lower than usual for this time of year. We have been having good fishing on both the Platte and the Laramie and all higher elevation tributary streams will provide great options over the next couple of weeks. Upper North Platte Flows: ~ 220 cfs (Northgate) Condi

Runoff is starting to wind down, fishing is picking up, and it sure is looking like the time to strike while the iron is hot on our local freestones! Dropping flows and improving clarity over the next week should make for excellent fishing conditions. We are starting to see significant insect activity, more surface action, and browns are still aggressively chasing streamers in the higher flows. Anglers should have plenty of options for quality fishing over the next week, chec

Warm weather is in the forecast for the coming week, and while runoff seems to be winding down overall, expect to see the main branches of the Laramie and North Platte rivers fluctuate a bit over the coming days as higher elevation snow continues to melt. Conditions on the main branches will be day-to-day with these fluctuating flows. Tributary streams and alpine lakes will offer more consistent options as we approach the end of the runoff window. Nearly all alpine lakes and

Most of the rivers around southern Wyoming are continuing to pick up gradually as runoff has been a somewhat stalled as a result of cooler temperatures over the past week. The Laramie River has been hovering around 200 - 225 cfs with the Platte starting to rise up over 300 cfs now. With the fluctuating flows, fishing conditions have been a bit on-and-off, but focusing efforts around times when flows are dropping and water clarity is improving has produced some phenomenal fish
