Hatches 2012 – Wyoming’s Wind River Mountain Range by Will Mullis
Magazine — By HatchesMagazine on July 30, 2012 12:32 pm
The Wind River Mountain Range of Wyoming is a fly fishing paradise that rivals any fabled water on earth, yet is relatively devoid of fly fishermen.
“The Winds,” as this area is affectionately nicknamed, encompasses more than 2,800 square miles, has more than 800 lakes teeming brook, brown, rainbow, cutthroat and even golden trout. The reason relatively few fly fishermen venture there is simple: It is an isolated and brutal wilderness that does not give up its bounty without a fight.
Several obstacles make The Winds as much an adventure of endurance and perseverance as a fishing trip. Anglers who consider fishing there should consider carefully these factors. If you want roadside pull-offs, or an effortless stroll through a meadow to reach the water, look elsewhere.

Your past issues have been great up to Fall 2010. I would like to know where my Fall 2011 is- as I never received it. I paid or it- 2009-2010 and 2011. The 2009 and 2010 are in my file for reading and referance. Thanks for having a great magazine.
Fished the Winds many times. Fantastic experience and good memories from the article.
Fsshed the Wind Area one time, it was the most awesome experience.. Three hours to get there three hours fishing
and must have released 200 fish. Green wooly worms.
Unbelievable goldens. Supreme effort to reach them.
