Wind River Float Trips

Wind River Float Trips guides the Upper Big Wind River on the Wind River Indian Reservation out of Crowheart, Wyoming, floating five named sections between the reservation boundary and the Swinging Bridge: Rez Line to Dinwoody, Dinwoody to Lenore, Lenore to Sand Draw, Sand Draw to Diversion, and Diversion to Swinging Bridge. The freestone river holds brown, rainbow, cutthroat, cuttbow and whitefish, fished with everything from dry flies to streamers. A full day runs eight hours for $795 per boat covering one or two anglers and includes lunch, a half day runs four hours for $595 and includes drinks, and walk-and-wade outings run $495 for a morning or evening and $695 for a full day. Guided fishing prices do not include the separately purchased Wind River Indian Reservation fishing license, which the business sells at its Dubois shop. Multi-day fishing and lodging packages, staying at the Big Wind River Loft in Dubois, start at $1,495 per angler.
