Laramie River

As we roll in to summer, fishing on the Laramie River gets better and better each day. High elevation sections are warming up enough to support massive BWO and Caddis hatches. A #14-18 Adams Q's Split Flag, #12-16 Gray Headlight Caddis, Or #18-20 Extended Body BWO are good options to target any fish looking up. A hopper-dropper combo will cover the water effectively and can provide action on both nymphs and dries. A #10-16 Tan Chubby Chernobyl or a #8-12 Green Amy's Ant are excellent bugs to float nymph rigs that are on the heavier side. Stone fly nymphs such as the #10-14 Peacock Restless Stone, #8-10 DB Stone, or #12-16 Red Copper John Can be great attractors to get your rig in to the zone and catch the attention of the fish. Caddis nymphs like #14-16 The Ticket, #14 Gum-Drop, or #12-16 Hairs Ear will also turn heads in these conditions. Make sure to stock up at either of the shops before your next trip up there!
