Wind River Fishing Adventures

These guys are the best fly shop around! This was me and my two friends' annual fishing/hiking trip. On our first fly fishing trip to Wyoming, we were enthusiastically welcomed by Micah and Gavin as we entered the fly shop to begin our guided trip. After a scenic drive to the headwaters of the East Fork, Gavin directed us to multiple fishing holes as we waded up the river and all caught multiple fish. We learned much from Gavin as we bombarded him with questions about fly selection and casting techniques. We even shared life lessons and advice amongst the group. On our way out, Gavin had to gently convince a stubborn cow to move off the trail. Everything about this guided trip was amazing. We all left with a renewed confidence and a greatly increased fly-fishing IQ. We highly recommend Wind River Flyfitter for your next guided trip! You won't be disappointed.

Wind River Flyfitters made our trip phenomenal! We stayed near Dubois for 2 weeks and did 4 all day hike-in trips with Bill and Gavin. They were amazing guides for our family—They helped my husband when he needed it but also let him fish independently while they helped me and our daughters fish—they were genuinely excited every time we hooked a fish and took real joy and pride as they watched us learn and progress over our time with them. They taught the girls about the hatches, different flies, and how to spot fish. We had the best time with them and feel like we have made friends for life! Eric and Asher were so welcoming in the shop and helped my husband with fishing tips for fishing in the area on his own. I cannot say enough good things about them! We are already planning trips for next summer.

Wonderful fishing experience in a super friendly, super cool western Wyoming town. Wind River Flyfitter set us up with an outstanding guide, Julian, who showed us some truly memorable places to wade fish for native cutthroats in the Wind River tributaries. Julian was very knowledgeable and just a great person to fish with; he had an excellent feel for providing the right level of help as a guide without having me feel like he was excessively "hovering" over me. I would highly recommend a guided trip with Julian to anyone planning to fish the Wind River drainage.

We had a super day on the water with Gil. My grandson Blake was only into his 3rd day fly fishing. Gil was terrific coaching Blake, and Blake scored the biggest cutty of the day: 19”. We caught a bunch of fish, several over 17”, and we had a great time. This was our second time out with WRFF, and I can’t say enough for the professionalism, kindness, and enthusiasm of all the staff.

Despite cooler, wetter weather than expected in August, Micah and Gil put us on fish (lots of fish) and shared their expertise and positive energy to make sure we had a great experience and caught lots of those fish. A great trip in an amazingly beautiful place. I highly recommend this outfitter for a great Wind River fishing experience.
