Encampment River
Encampment River
Book your trip today!
Beginning just East of the Continental Divide in northern Colorado, the Encampment River briefly wanders north into Wyoming where it will soon converge with the North Platte River. As you cross the Colorado-Wyoming border, the river snakes through a sensational, 18 mile long, wilderness protected canyon. For the next 25 miles, the river takes a more meandering course before joining the North Platte River just upstream of the Treasure Island access. Upstream of the towns of Encampment and Riverside, WY, access to this wonderful water is virtually unlimited as much of it flows through the Medicine Bow National Forest and Wilderness areas. Grabbing a 4 weight, a small box of dry flies, and spending a few days in the solitude is the best way to experience this wonderland. Downstream of Encampment and Riverside, the most notable section of the Encampment River can be accessed by one of our fantastic Encampment River guided float trips. The Encampment guided float trip is best timed somewhere between mid-June and mid-July. During run-off on our local freestone streams, this is a great place to spend the day on a raft slugging browns on caddis, green drakes and big hoppers. This is a blissful place to fish, and it always has our phones ringing off the hook during the early summer. With an abundance of quality fish, deer, moose, elk and much more, a camera is a necessity for any Encampment River guide trip. A unique setting with hungry fish will have anglers wishing for more.
Our Guides
Here at St. Peter's we strive to provide our clients with friendly, knowledgeable, well trained guides who's primary focus is you. There are plenty of shops out there willing to match you up with a warm body that's basically getting paid to learn the water and take you along. Not here... Our guides are experienced fly fishers with extensive knowledge of local streams, hatches, and techniques. While we've got our share of eccentrics on staff, you will not find attitudes, assumptions, or criticisms from our guides. If you do, we want to hear about it.
Guide Trips
All guide trips can be instructional...or we can just go out and help you catch fish. Part school, part fishing, our trips will build your fundamental fly fishing skills, expand your understanding of local entomology, work the kinks out of your presentation, or help you get rid of that annoying tailing loop. Let us know what we can do to maximize your enjoyment on stream and we'll do whatever we can to accommodate you.
