Maricle mile

I'll be 'Yak fishing some of the reservoirs, I'll add those to the list. A floating jig w/tail, a 1½ oz weight and a 18" fluoro leader should work for those deeper pools.

It's deadly around here

Heading there this weekend for some scouting/ fishing. Thanks for the tips. I'll bring waders, but as hot as it is, wet wading sure sounds good right about now.

And a floating koozie!

Plenty of places to wade fish it. Sling a panther martin and you’ll have a great time.

I'm staying in a hotel by the baseball fields, right on the river at crossroads Park. Do you know if the fishing is any good in that section?

I'll throw the kitchen sink at them. I just need to tailor my arsenal based off the regs. So is it artificial only?

Leave the bait at home. One of the special stretches of river in North America. Show it proper respect.

You will be fine from shore. Lots of fish. Lots of greenies.

Lots of Greenies? Boy howdy, anywhere you go in Wyoming to fish. Miracle Mile, Grey Reef or any lake/reservoir.

I'm afraid, what respect means to you is different than what it means to me.

I've fly fished for 20 years and I'm no longer an elitist. I fish to catch fish. It's not an "Instagram" moment for me. My thrill is the catch. The river doesn't give a flying chit about throwing a parachute adams or drowning a worm under a bobber. I think I will use whatever works best.

I asked rhetorically, in hopes it would further the discussion with more memories being shared.

Here’s the further discussion you were looking for. No bait restrictions.

The river won't care, but catch and release (if that is how you roll on said river) with bait v artificial leads to higher mortality on the fish (and it is worse on the big'uns). If you are catching and grilling, then bait v artificial lethality rates should be equal!!

I pinch my barbs down selfishly so if I should hook myself, it goes better for me on the unhooking. The catch and release fish like it better too.

Agree with everything! I've pinched many barbs while fishing Slough Creek in the 2000's. I selectively harvest, usually releasing the fish that had a short fight and barely hooked. I took a class on trout in cold water streams. It was fascinating, to say the least.

As long as you follow the rules, than you're just as equal to the angler next to you. If biologists were concerned with mortality rates, they'd change the rules. I C&R 99.9% of the time, could care less if anyone else does.

An extremely refreshing take!

Check out Freemont canyon just below Pathfinder absolutely gorgeous with pretty good fishing.

In Casper you mean? No idea, never fished that far downstream.

Well, shit. Not like finding out on my own wont be fun.

There are a lot of trout in the river through casper too.

Thanks. I'll be happily fishing it Sunday morning
