Fishing Report 04/24/2026

Winter time blues? Not around here!  The fishing has been good. That is typical this time of year, consistent good fishing. What has every one really hyped up is where and how the fishing has been good. The answer there is pretty much all sections. Not just the top 10 miles which can be more typical to April on the Reef. The streamer fishing… Continue reading Fishing Report 04/24/2026

Bug

Right now on the North Platte, it’s pretty simple. Don’t overthink it.   A few patterns have really separated themselves lately, and if we had to narrow it down, these are our three favorite bugs in the box right now:   The Little Green Machine has been a staple and continues to produce. It’s a… Continue reading What’s on Our Rigs 04/15/2026

REMINDER: SPAWNING CLOSURES

Spawning

Every spring on the Grey Reef stretch of the North Platte River, it’s game time for spawning rainbows—and that means closures.

It’s not signed,… Continue reading REMINDER: SPAWNING CLOSURES

Report

We are a couple days into the “Flush”, and we are on the home stretch of its completion. It can fish really well IF visibility holds. It is hard to catch fish in chocolate milk and visibility measured in inches. That is just across the board fishing, and the gambling on the Flush.  The powers that be flushed the afterbay and prior to… Continue reading Fishing Report 03/12/2026

Fishing Report Winter

The winter of non-winter weather continues. It has been warm and a great winter to get out on the river. Fishing has been solid on the Reef and the ‘Horn. Highly recommended to take advantage of the weather and get out of the house and get a jump on fishing. Normal wintertime activities (aka skiing) are lacking, but the fishing isn’t. The Reef is till go to… Continue reading Fishing Report 02/17/2026

Happy 2026 … and “Shoulder” Season!

Shoulder Season

Winter and early spring is often considered a “shoulder season”. Not “peak”. That is really downplaying some fantastic fishing around here.  The peak part would have to do more with “not super nice summer weather” or numbers of visitors to our area are up in the summer. All makes sense. For sure it does also fish really good during peak too. It is “peak”, after all. But ask… Continue reading Happy 2026 … and “Shoulder” Season!
