Upper North Platte Fishing Report
Last Updated: 1/24/2026
Current Streamflow: Gauge Off/ Ice @ Northgate Canyon
The Northgate gauge is done for the season. If your really itching to get up there, there may be some open water lower in the valley towards Saratoga depending on the weather. That being said, the Reef and the Mile will definitely be better options if your considering heading up that way. We are looking forward to another great float season up there this summer!
The float season on the Upper North Platte was a blast this year. If you would like to get on the calendar for the 2026 Float season give us a call at (970) 498-8968
