Fishing Spot: Upper River – Medicine Bow

Nothing but the best here. Winding through the mountains and heavy timber of the Medicine Bow National Forest, the upper section of the North Platte is remote, won’t-see-another-fishermen-for-days remote. Instead you’ll keep company with elk, coyotes, deer, mountain lion, bear, bighorn sheep, moose and eagles. Oh, and more gigantic trout. Like the landscape it cuts through, the river here is wild – steep grades, rapids, large boulders – so it is best to wait until after the runoff is finished (usually June). Truly dedicated fly-fishermen walk in and spend days meandering along the river, fishing and camping en route. Another option is to do the same with a drift boat or canoe.
