 Fly Rod Suggestions:
A Wyoming fly fishing guide from Grey Reef Anglers would suggest a 9' 6wt Rod equipped with a floating line for nymph fishing for the Grey Reef and Miracle Mile Section of the North Platte River. Our streamer fishing can be done on the same rod, or we can suggest a 9' 7wt Rod with a floating or sink tip line. A softer action 9' 5wt Rod for dry flies rounds out the requirements for a completely enjoyably time fly fishing in Wyoming.

 Grey Reef Fall Fishing Season: October-November
The forgotten season that produces huge fish and again big numbers of trout. The big attraction of coarse is the brown trout spawning and the great streamer action as a result.
A Wyoming fly fishing guide will recommend a combination of all of the above fly patterns for fall, depending on how early or late in the fall your Wyoming fly fishing trip is.
BIG SCUDS & Leeches
Bring your monster streamer box to make the most of fly fishing in Wyoming!
The fall on the North Platte River is the season for big brown trout so bring your 7wt rod if possible.
These ar just some of the fly patterns we suggest, your guide has special flies that he ties himself and he will know the exact flies that are producing the most and make sure your rigged for success.
