Experience the best fly fishing Wyoming has to offer with one of our experienced guides. Lander, Wyoming is centrally located to offer anglers access to a plethora of great trout fishing. This includes two great tailwater fisheries – The Green River flowing through Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, the Bighorn River, private ranch water, mountain streams and high mountain lakes. Whether you are new to the sport or a seasoned angler our Wyoming Fly Fishing guides can deliver a world class fly fishing experience. 

Seeskadee National Wildlife Refuge – Green River

Other waters guided by Wind River Troutfitters include the Big Horn River at Thermopolis, Wyoming, and several small streams in and around the Lander, WY area. The Big Horn is particularly advantageous in Spring, and late Fall, the streams around Lander are great from July through mid-October.



Bighorn River Thermopolis, Wyoming

The Bighorn River in Wyoming offers abundant populations of Brown, Rainbow and cutthroat trout. This tailwater fishery fed by the fertile waters of Boysen reservoir produce ideal conditions for an aquatic biomass that produces high numbers of fish per mile. We guide the Bighorn River in Thermopolis, Wyoming year round. Best times are march through June and September – November. A drift boat is utilized to fish the best the many stretches of the Bighorn River.
