Alcova is a convenient hub for accessing some of Wyoming’s best trout waters. Miracle Mile, Fremont Canyon and Grey Reef are all on the menu. Our guides also frequent Alcova, Pathfinder and Grey Reef Reservoirs. Due to the prime locations of The Reef Fly Shop and North Platte Lodge, these bodies of water are all within easy striking distance, which means less driving and more time spent fishing.

The Grey Reef section of the North Platte River is a premier trout fishery. During the springtime, it sees a surge of nonresident guides. When the water level rises and the spawn is over they disappear. Popular belief is that Grey Reef is only productive during this timeframe. That’s simply untrue.

The North Platte River, particularly Grey Reef, is productive year-round. But sometimes it takes an experienced guide to help reveal its secrets. Do yourself a favor and hire a well-seasoned local guide when booking fly fishing trips.
