Fly Fish the Wind!
August nights are cold, days almost always warm in Wyoming’s
northern Rockies. Hordes of great brown trout are on the move,
heading upstream for their fall spawn. Fishermen regularly catch
ten-pounders or better, as well as rainbows and cutthroats!
The 2004 dates for this annual fund-raiser are August 25-29 or
August 31-Sept. 4, 2004. Or Full Session Aug. 25 - Sept. 4.
August 25-29 or August 31-Sept. 4
The Lucius Burch Center is offering a unique fly-fishing adventure,
Fly Fish the Wind! Ranchers along the Wind River, East Fork and
other outstanding streams in the Dubois area are making their
private waters available to us for this exclusive fund-raising
effort. Some of Wyoming’s best guides live in Dubois and
will be on hand to teach you their classified home waters. If
you like, they'll even help you tie your own flies, including
some of the locals’ secret weapons.
Accomodations
Trail Lake Ranch: Built shortly
after the turn of the century, Trail Lake is a historic dude ranch
sheltered in the far end of a magnificent glaciated valley in
the rugged and spectacular Wind River Mountains. The clear running
waters of Torrey Creek, originating in permanent glaciers above
the trailhead to Gannett, the highest peak in the state, traverse
the valley floor. Rock art and other traces of its early inhabitants
share this sequestered retreat with the largest herd of wild,
big horn sheep in North America. The accommodations are rustic
but comfortable and the setting wild and remote. Double occupancy;
some rooms have connecting bath shared by four people; limited
private baths. Site conditions are physically demanding (7,400'elevation).
Activities
There are numerous activities for lazy days or non-angling friends,
including visits to archaeological sites, rock art sites, hiking
in the stunning Wind River and Absaroka Mountains and dancing
in one the towns rustic saloons. Grouse hunting and horseback
riding are also available by special arrangement.
