You are looking at the most up-to-date fishing conditions at Grey Reef, without question. The Reef Fly Shop’s weather station is steps away from the river. Streamflows come directly from the Bureau of Reclamation and automatically update as new information is added. We’re posting photos from our Instagram account regularly, too. Keep an eye here for current stream conditions on the North Platte from The Reef Fly Shop.
First things first, a little update on water conditions and what not. The voluntary closure is still in effect for Lusby downstream to Dave Johnson power plant, meaning no fishing past noon. As of today(8/10/26), Grey Reef to Lusby, Miracle Mile and Fremont Canyon have no restrictions. Current flows are as follows; Grey Reef-800cfs, Miracle Mile-550cfs and Fremont Canyon-75cfs. Per usual for this time of year, the tricos are going big and caddis are filling in the gaps, along with a little bit of hopper activity. Dries, nymphs and streamers are all on the menu-making for some fun fishing! And as always, minimize handling the fish and try to keep them in the water on these hotter days…although the extended forecast shows cooler weather is on the way!
The shop will no longer be selling fishing licenses, so please make sure to have it before you get here.
There have been positive, substantial changes made to our North Platte fishing regs. Make sure you’re up to speed.
