The boat
Down River
Down River · Raft · North Park Anglers is the one of the few shops in the lower forty eight with a premier wilderness float that can be done in one day. We float the North Platte River through the Platte River Wilderness Area. This is an amazing section of remote river that flows north from Colorado into Wyoming. Our float is nine miles of varying water types with everything from class III rapids and great pocket water to expansive flats, perfect for dries and hoppers. We run top of the line Down River rafts with full frames and casting decks designed for the comfort of two anglers and a guide. Transportation, flies, terminal tackle, any needed equipment, lunch and non-alcoholic beverages are provided on these trips.
The boat
Drift Boat · North Park Anglers offers float fishing from our Boulder Boat Works Mackenzie style drift boat on various private stillwaters and the famed Delaney Butte Lakes. These nutrient rich "sagebrush" lakes are widely known for their prolific hatches of Chironomids, Callibaetis, and Damselflies. Other food sources such as crayfish, minnows, scuds, and leeches are a top menu item for the larger specimens. If your interest lies in stillwater trout fishing, Full and Half Day options are available. Our experienced guides regularly fish these waters and are familiar with the various tactics required for successful stillwater fishing. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned fisherman we can share tips and techniques that will improve your fishing success.
