Report Summary for Oct 2026
This year: At Northgate Canyon, current streamflows are low at 27 CFS, offering unique wading conditions for anglers seeking to explore the river. Excellent news for regional access as the Wyoming Game and Fish has officially lifted the voluntary closure on the Upper North Platte Watershed, opening up the fishery for standard fall angling. Dry-dropper rigs have been the most productive approach on the water. Rigging up a stonefly or small terrestrial dry fly with a midge or Blue Winged Olive dropper trailing below is a great way to cover water. If you spot rising fish during the afternoon hatches, switching over to dedicated midge or Blue Winged Olive dries is highly effective. Key fly selections for this stretch include the Chubby Chernobyl, Rusty Trombone, and Jigged Pheasant Tail.
