Upper North Platte Fishing Report

Last Updated: 9/11/2025

Current Streamflow: 37 cfs @ Northgate Canyon

Northgate canyon flows are on the downward slope. Fishing Hopper Dropper rigs with stonefly and hopper patterns with PMD, Caddis, or Sallys behind can be effective this time of year. Streamers can also be a great way to find success.

The float season on the Upper North Platte was a blast this year. With the lower flows this is now better approached from the walk wade aspect. If you would like to get on the calendar for the 2026 Float season give us a call at (970) 498-8968
