a battle equal to any freshwater species. 1-877-677-3363 or

lakeside cabins and a vivid blue-green mountain lake ringed by
tumbling glaciers make this resort a spectacular getaway for fly
fishers. Imagine all this natural beauty and the opportunity to

North Platte Lodge
North Platte Lodge is the only lodge located on the lower North
Platte River, near Alcova, Wyoming. The North Platte River has
become known as one of the prime trophy trout waters in the western
United States. The Rainbow & Brown trout grow big and they
are renowned fighters. Let Brett and his group of experienced
guides take you on an unforgettable float trip down this incredibly
fertile river.
Willow Creek Ranch
The ranch was founded in 1882 and still operates in much the
same way as it did over one hundred years ago. A visit to Willow
Creek Ranch includes fascinating history, beautiful scenery,
exciting horseback riding, great trout fishing, and much more
that makes it the ultimate Wyoming western vacation. The ranch
boasts over 10 miles of excellent German Brown Trout waters
along Buffalo Creek. This fly fishing stream is rated by many
as some of the best small-stream trout fishing in the west and
produces up to 23 inch Browns. Contact them at: (307) 738-2294

Eagle Lake Lodge
Labrador, located in the northeast corner of Canada, is a wilderness
fly fisher's dream come true. The remote headwaters of world-renowned
Eagle River, lying about 60 air miles to the south of Goose
Bay, contain some of the finest fishing for brook trout and
Northern pike to be found in Canada. Anglers have only to step
in front of the fishing lodge and cast to catch brook trout
averaging up to four pounds, but seasoned fishing guides are
there to take you further a field in comfortable Gander River
boats for more lively action at the lake's inlet and outlet.
Shallow, weedy areas of the watershed contain Northern pike
of 20 pounds and more, providing a challenge for fly fishers
who choose to take them on light tackle. Eagle Lake fishing
lodge offers a combination of comfort, remoteness, and great
Canadian fishing opportunities that will appeal to young and
old alike. Contact: 1-877-677-3363 or
