About

Crazy Rainbow Fly Fishing has been serving fly fishing enthusiasts since 2002, operating as Wyoming's premiere fly fishing outfitter in Casper. The company offers guided fly fishing trips on the North Platte River (including Grey Reef tailwaters, Miracle Mile, and Fremont Canyon), Big Horn River, and Wyoming lakes. A key advantage is their ownership of large private land parcels adjacent to the river, providing exclusive wade and walk access unavailable to the public. Beyond local Wyoming waters, Crazy Rainbow offers all-inclusive destination fly fishing trips to remote locations including Patagonia, Ascension Bay in Mexico, and Bolivia. The operation includes the Ugly Bug Fly Shop retail location in downtown Casper, the Crazy Rainbow Lodge, and the Crazy Rainbow River Cabin Lodge for accommodations. They also provide fly fishing education programs (UBCL 101 & 201, youth programs, fly tying instruction) and maintain an active guide staff with notable guides including Blake Jackson, Dustin White, and female guides Addie Dees and Laurie Stroope.
