TWIN BUTTES

INFORMATION

Twin Buttes is a 250-acre impoundment that contains rainbows and browns averaging 12 to 25+ inches. This reservoir offers the angler a great opportunity to catch a true trophy brown in the eight-pound range. Fishing at Twin Buttes is best in the fall when the browns are trying to spawn. Look for fish to be in the shallows with a gravely bottom. There are two boat ramps and overnight camping, but no hookups.

GALETT INFORMATION
Galett is the smallest of the Laramie Plains Lakes, at only 34 surface acres. It has rainbow trout from 12 to 24 inches and grass carp. We have good carry over fish at Galett the past couple of winters thanks to efforts from the Wyoming Game & Fish aeration systems. This impoundment is an extremely shallow lake with great vegetation growth full of damsel nymphs and scuds.

MEEBOER INFORMATION
Meeboer is a 119-acre reservoir that grows fish faster than any of the other plains lakes. Recent efforts by the Wyoming Game & Fish have allowed us carry over fish the past couple of years, which has greatly increased the rainbows average size. Prior to these efforts fish averaged 10-14 inches but now fish in the six to ten pound plus range have been more common.

North Platte Current River Flows at Saratoga

The North Platte River is wide open and running fairly dirty right now.  The water is fishable, especially in the mornings, with large streamer and stone fly patterns.  The water visibility is ranging from just a couple of inches up to 1 foot.  Look for conditions to change daily or even hourly, depending on the warmth and precipitation on that given day.  The flows at North Gate are around 1900 cfs.

For the most current North Platte River conditions, give us a call at 307-721-4047

FISHING

CONDITIONS

The North Platte River is a little tough.  The water clarity is poor (great for streamers)  but the water temps have come up to the high 30's and even into the low 40's on very warm sunny days.  Plan on using very heavy flies or a lot of weight with split shot.  The fish are either going to be in the real deep holes or stacked up along the banks.
