About Fremont Canyon
Fremont Canyon offers a premier wade fishing experience on a section of the North Platte River, known for its consistently low flows under 100 CFS due to water diversion. This canyon tailwater boasts a substantial trout population, providing excellent opportunities for dry fly fishing throughout the year. Anglers can anticipate notable hatches of Tricos, Caddis, Pale Morning Duns, and Yellow Sallies. While nymphing for scuds, midges, and leeches is always productive, experienced anglers can also target trout with streamers in the swift canyon currents. The canyon's accessibility for wading makes it a favored destination for those seeking an immersive trout fishing experience.
