Upper North Platte River Fishing Report

Fishing Conditions

The upper North Platte River is quite low this Fall, but fish can be found; find the deeper holes and pockets, and find the trout! Also, do not overlook shallower, bubbly, moving water. Early morning fishing has been best. As temperatures have moderated, the water has cooled. Small nymphs, such as Flashback Pheasant Tails, Tung Teasers, Princes, Rainbow Warriors, and Mayhem Midges produce. Soft hackle flies work well on the swing. Small Pat’s Rubber Legs, Thin Mints, Squirmy Worms, and San Juan Worms are effective too. Finally, a Platte River Spider is an excellent low water streamer.
