Wind River Canyon Update


Darren Calhoun, owner/operator of Wind River Canyon Whitewater and Fly-Fishing called me this week with a very positive update concerning the train derailment last month in the Wind River Canyon. It looks like the BNSF train derailment caused very negligible effects, if any at all. This is great news! For those of you who don't know much about this canyon, it is home to some of the finest trout fishing for Brown and Rainbow that Wyoming has to offer. Tumbling through some very rugged whitewater and rolling through the Wind River Indian Reservation, Darren's operation is the only way to truly experience this piece of water. Darren and I have both been getting many questions on how the fishing may be affected, and fortunately it looks like the minor spill, in conjunction with the very high spring flows, has had no affect on the fishery. I'm already looking forward to my annual trip. Check his link out below for details. Here's a great shot of Darren, and my wife Rachael, with a typical Wind River Canyon Brown. Stay tuned for a Yellowstone Lake update!
