Enjoying a hot spring in the winter is a blissful escape into nature&#8217;s own spa. First discovered by Native American tribes, the healing advantages of the Saratoga Hot Springs earned the area the name “place of magic waters”. The medicinal benefits of a tranquil hot springs soak are still experienced today. During the cooler seasons of winter and early spring, Brush Creek Ranch guests may access the hot springs typically reserved exclusively for guests of Saratoga Hot Springs Resort.
As snow gently falls around you, the steam rises from the mineral rich waters, enveloping you in comfort. Soak in an intimate teepee-covered hot pool or the 70-foot-long hot springs pool. The incredibly high mineral content and low sulfur odor ranks these hot springs among top, world-famous springs.

Fly Fishing

dsc07228

Fly Fishing trout

The only type of fish we fish for is trout. Rainbow and brown are the two most common catches and are usually caught in about the same numbers and ratio. Certain areas can be more prolific with one or the other species, but it&#8217;s usually a relative even split. On occasion you&#8217;ll find a rogue brook trout or cutthroat trout, but they&#8217;re not super prevalent within our fisheries. Your &#8216;average&#8217; North Platte River trout is usually a very healthy 12-16 inches, with each summer always bringing a handful of trophy trout over two feet long. The ecosystems of the North Platte River, the Encampment River, and their major tributaries are so healthy and have such an abundance of food that these trout grow large relatively quickly.

Fish Species

float-fishing-slider_2

float fishing

It’s safe to say that fishing within our valley is always good. With such a variety of fisheries and drastic changes in elevation, you can always find a productive spot somewhere at any given time of the year, if you know where to look. That being said, we have several windows of time throughout the season that can be particularly good on the water.
<h5>Mid-March to Mid-May</h5>
Spring in Wyoming offers perfect conditions for fly fishing on the miles of crystal-clear waters flowing through Brush Creek Ranch. As the snow in the lower elevations of the mountains in Medicine Bow National Forest melts away, water levels rise making float trips the popular method of fishing for the spring season. However, wade fishing is still feasible and a great way to connect with the blossoming land around you. This is also the time when insect hatches become more frequent, providing excellent opportunities for dry fly fishing. Anglers can expect to see hatches of Blue-winged Olives, Caddisflies, and Stoneflies, making it a prime time for matching the hatch. Waters are brimming with thousands of trout during the spring, providing ample opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime.

Best Times of the Year

_f9a3984-1

<h5>Mid-May to Mid-July</h5>
Once we hit the month of May, temperatures warm to the point that the high-country snow starts melting, which begins runoff. The word &#8216;runoff&#8217; typically scares most anglers, however, in the Platte River Valley we fish right through runoff. The majority of our fishing is done via boat as wading this big water isn&#8217;t always feasible. Yes, the water might be high and off-color, but we target the banks and slower stretches and use brightly colored streamers and large nymphs. This is the time of year we witness the prolific Salmon Fly hatch on the North Platte. These massive aquatic insects hatch for up to 2 weeks and make up a huge portion of our trout&#8217;s yearly protein intake. This time of year is always the most productive time of year on all of our stillwater fisheries. Runoff typically peaks during the first week of June, for the remainder of the month, water levels drop, clarity improves, and we see more and more caddis, yellow sallies, PMDs and the famed green drakes in late June. Mid-to-late June is a very versatile time to fish in the valley with float and wade options and the ability to throw nymphs, dries, and streamers within any given day.

north-platte-river

north-platte-river fly fish

<h5>Mid-July to Mid-August</h5>
During mid-July to mid-August we experience the heat of our summers. This often causes water temperatures to rise and fishing to slow down. On a low water year, we restrict our fishing to the mornings only, once water temperatures reach 68 degrees, we stop fishing in order to decrease the amount of stress put on our fishery. With that being said, we still see some very productive fishing during this month. Tricos start to hatch in prolific proportions on the North Platte and Encampment and terrestrials (hoppers, beetles, ants) become a staple in the trout&#8217;s diet. A typical day starts with the trico spinner fall where hundreds of fish can be focused on the surface offering technical, but rewarding, dry-fly fishing. Float fishing becomes less viable as water levels drop and we start to focus mainly on wade fishing. This is a great time of year to escape the heat and head to the high country to find cooler water and more active fish.

october-autumn-fall-fly-fishing-trip-to-brush-creek-ranch

October Autumn Fall Fly Fishing Trip to Brush Creek Ranch

<h5>Mid-August to Late September</h5>
This is by far the most consistent time to fish our valley. Once we hit mid-August, water temps start to drop, and fishing is phenomenal. The trico hatch usually starts dwindling down by early to mid-September and we start seeing more blue-winged olives (BWO). Terrestrials typically stick around until late September. Hopper-dropper rigs are the go-to this time of year and we focus mainly on wade fishing the upper stretches of the North Platte and all tributaries. Fall fishing is hard to beat in our Valley!

2f9a7726-4

<h5>October to Late November</h5>
Once October hits, the only variable we worry about is the weather. Fishing can remain productive until the water freezes. Brown trout spawn in the fall which offers a great period of fishing as they prepare for the spawn and look for big meals, thus offering some excellent streamer fishing. All fish sense the colder temperatures and know winter is around the corner, causing them to feed heavily. Aside from an errant snowstorm, early to mid-October typically offers mild weather with cold nights and daytime highs averaging in the 60s. Once we hit mid-October, you start rolling the dice with Mother Nature. We say that this time of year &#8216;isn&#8217;t for the faint of heart&#8217; but it&#8217;s some of our guides’ and locals&#8217; favorite time of year to fish.

The North Platte River watershed is revered as one of the most iconic fly-fishing destinations in North America, as well as the world. Flowing through expansive canyons and sloping valleys, its tributaries, including Brush Creek, French Creek, and the Encampment River, offer over 20 miles of pristine, exclusive private water access by way of rafts, drift boats, and wading. These waters, as well as our 6 different stillwater fisheries, offer guests unparalleled fly-fishing experiences.
Our Blue-Ribbon freestone fly-fishing destination provides some of the healthiest trout ecosystems in the world. Prolific insect hatches throughout the year and thousands of trout per river mile make this a destination fishery for any serious angler. You will also enjoy a spectrum of stunning Wyoming landscapes. From steep rocky canyons to flat rolling sagebrush hills, and everything in between, even the most traveled guests seldom get to experience such variety of landscape and fishing scenario within a small watershed.

Top Orvis Endorsed Fly-Fishing Guides at Brush Creek Ranch

Growing up in Boise, Idaho, Adam spent his childhood fishing lakes, rivers, and creeks across the state. Introduced to fly fishing at a young age by his father, his passion for the sport has only grown over time. After attending guide school, Adam landed his first guiding job 15 years ago and has been a fly-fishing guide with Brush Creek Ranch for the past 12 years.
Tailoring his approach to different skill levels, Adam starts slow with beginners and challenges advanced anglers with more difficult fishing techniques and areas. He loves that each fishing day is unique with the diverse fishing environments at Brush Creek Ranch, from small creeks to expansive rivers. He defines the ideal day on the water by a positive fishing attitude rather than perfect conditions. One of his favorite experiences is building lasting relationships with clients he taught as beginners and helping them grow their skills during return trips over the years.
He stays updated with the latest techniques by fly-fishing frequently. Outside of work, Adam spends his time fishing and aims to fish 300 days per year. His advice to newcomers is to hire a guide and avoid unnecessary gear purchases. His favorite tip is to keep your flies wet and avoid overcasting.

Katie Haver - Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Headshot

A fly-fishing guide at Brush Creek Ranch for the past four years, Katie was initially drawn to fishing because it puts you in the outdoors with a purpose and forces you to connect with your environment. She has never been one to climb a mountain just for the picture, but if there&#8217;s a fishable lake up there, the climb suddenly has purpose. Fly fishing requires understanding not only fish behavior but also the ecology of the river. Most western communities revolve around water rights, and as a guide, Katie has a front-row seat to how precipitation affects agriculture, recreation, and ecology.
Growing up in Colorado, where rivers are crowded and fish are constantly pressured, Katie says the fishing environment at Brush Creek Ranch is unmatched, since it&#8217;s more remote and the fish don&#8217;t see as much pressure.
Katie says the most rewarding days are when she&#8217;s guiding guests with minimal experience, in tough conditions, and a short window to fish, but they still hook a trout! They feel like they&#8217;ve accomplished the impossible after that.
Katie&#8217;s advice for beginners is not to muscle the fly rod into casting for them. It never works. If your arm is getting tired, you&#8217;re doing it wrong. It&#8217;s a finesse sport, not a strength sport. Her favorite way to start her fishing trips is to fish the most unassuming piece of water first before moving to what looks fishy. Fish may be sitting 10 feet in front of you while you&#8217;re trying to cast 40 feet.

Matt&#8217;s passion for fly fishing began at the age of 12. He started guiding during college as a summer job and has now been guiding for 20 years. For the past 11 years, Matt has been sharing his expertise at Brush Creek Ranch. Fly fishing initially drew him in because it offers the perfect blend of getting outdoors, enjoying solitude, embracing challenges, and appreciating the beautiful places where trout live.
The water and fishing conditions are constantly changing, making each day different. The scenery is both beautiful and unique. Matt describes the ideal day for fly fishing at Brush Creek Ranch as early June, with the North Platte at 1250 CFS, water temperatures in the mid-50s, a high of 70 degrees, a slight breeze, and afternoon clouds, floating from 6 Mile to Sanger.
Outside of work, Matt enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, and hunting. His personal fly-fishing goal is to travel the world in pursuit of fish other than trout. His advice to someone new to fly fishing is to stick with it and practice. The learning curve can seem daunting at first, but it&#8217;s important not to get frustrated, enjoy observing the natural world, and never stop learning. He cautions beginners against developing bad habits early, as they can be hard to break later on. Matt&#8217;s favorite fly-fishing tip is about casting: &#8220;It’s the foundation of the sport. If you can cast well, you can fish well.&#8221;
