Contrary to popular belief, and the mystical moves of Brad Pitt in the movie “A River Runs Through It,” fly fishing can be enjoyed by everyone. Now, just because deep sea fishing didn’t do it for you, don’t worry…fly fishing probably will.

This is an entirely different realm of fishing… this an interactive and thinking type fishing. There is no leisurely boat time, no waiting for them to bite, this is your effort and your work that brings them in the boat. Frustrating yes, rewarding.. you bet. But truth be told, once you master the cast (which truly isn’t as difficult as it seems), the feeling of being in nature and actually being a part of the river, is an experience unlike any other.

In Wyoming, where land, ranches and wide open spaces are the name of the game, fly fishing is exceptional. In Casper, Wyoming, the Ugly Bug Fly Shop can take care of all your needs. Their guided trips on the North Platte River will give anglers a chance to bring in Cutthroat and Brown trout averaging 17 to 22 inches long!

The guys at Ugly Bug are happy to set you up with guides, lodging and everything you need to try out fly fishing Wyoming style. Even if you’re just a beginner, it’s worth a try. Cast a line, try it out…. feel the rush of bringing in that big fish on that small line!
