Fishing Trips
Join Bear Basin Adventures for a first class fishing trip. Whether it be fly fishing, spin casting, a week long trip or just a day long excursion, we have a trip for you.
The mountains of Wyoming offer a fishing trip for everyone. The high country lakes of the Wind River Mountains gives you the opportunity for spectacular dry fishing or spin casting for a variety of trout. Come fish for Brookies, native Cutthroat, Rainbows or Browns. If a drop trip is what you are after, where we drop you off and you chase the fish for yourself, we can gladly accommodate. Alternatively we can accompany you for your trip tending to the cooking and camp chores so you can spend your time doing what you love most- fishing! We can offer professional guides for those interested (additional cost), as well as limited equipment, or bring your own familiar equipment and guide yourself while we tend to camp.
The rivers and lakes of the Absaroka Mountains will also impress the most avid fisherman and the casual sportsman alike. Spend a few days on a beautiful mountain stream and let the waters ease your soul.
The following is a set itinerary we have on offer in a great fishing spot of Wyoming. We can accommodate other dates you may have in mind or just incorporate fishing into your horse pack trip as a side activity. The options are endless so do not hesitate to contact us with your ideas or a proposed date at bearbasinadventures@dteworld.com or 307-486-2229.
September 6-12, 2008: Superb Fly Fishing at Simpson Lake
Join Heath for some fantastic fishing in the beautiful Simpson Lake area. The northern Wind River Range is fabulous country and the fly fishing in lakes or streams is great. There will be the opportunity to fish the lake itself and other surrounding fisheries. The fishing is world renowned- fly-fishing or spin-casting. Brookies, Rainbows, Cutthroat Trout and Grayling all inhabit these healthy, pristine waters.
This seven day trip will be memorable and exciting for the most experienced and beginner fisherman alike. In our exploration of the Continental Divide, we see Roaring Fork Pass and Three Waters Mountain at the headwaters of the Green, Snake and Wind Rivers, the major tributaries of America’s headwaters. Enroute there is a wide diversity of wildflowers and wildlife including moose, elk, mule deer and bighorn sheep. This is the Fitzpatrick Wilderness, now considered one of the most spectacular wilderness areas in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem.
We will take day rides or hikes to nearby lakes and streams like Lost Lake, Moon Lake and all the streams between. The fishing will keep you busy and the scenery awestruck. Come enjoy these wonderful wild lands and water with us. We will be available to help out with the fishing, we are fisherman but not guides. If you are interested in having a professional guide join us, let us know and we can provide one for an additional fee.
Two to five weight rods between 7 ˝ to 8 ˝ feet long will be sufficient, pack rods please, ultra light spinning gear for those interested in spin-casting. Waders will be helpful, but not necessary. Most successful flies: Weighted woolly buggers - Royal Wulff - Mosquitoes - Grasshoppers - Hares ear nymph
Spin-casters should take small mepps and rostertails. We have some equipment to borrow but it is better to have your own.
Bear Basin Adventures will provide all the meals, camping supplies and equipment except your sleeping bag, personal gear and fishing gear (unless otherwise specified). Each person will be provided with a duffle bag to pack all your gear in. Each duffle should weigh no more than 40lbs. You will be responsible for your own Wyoming fishing license and conservation stamp. A more detailed packing list will be provided upon booking. We’ll have some great gourmet campfires but can gladly accommodate most dietary needs if given enough notice.
The cost of this trip cost $250 per person per day, plus a 15% service tax. Vacation and trip cancellation insurance is highly recommended and available from major insurance companies. Our policy is that the trip deposits are non-refundable and due to the difficulty in re-booking a trip, the balance is non-refundable as well if you cancel within 30 days of the pack trip departure.
Please contact us if you have any questions about the fishing pack trip. Remember this is just one itinerary. If available, we can do custom trips to suit your needs or incorporate fishing into another pack trip. We look forward to hearing from you.
