Expand your backcountry and fishing skills in the premier backcountry fishing destination in The West
Have you wanted to take your fly fishing and backpacking skills to the next level, but have wanted to do so on a shorter trip? Well this trip is the perfect fir for you. The rugged Wind River Range of Wyoming has quickly become a favorite trip destination for LFFE. Thousands of lakes, thousands of miles of fishable streams, creeks, and rivers, at least a dozen different species of trout, and one of the largest wilderness areas in the continental United States makes “The Winds” a truly unique trip location. Like the Wind River Expedition, we will head into the backcountry with the assistance of pack animals to lighten our loads. Once established at our base camp, we will hike, fish, and explore in this fly angling paradise. When we out of the backcountry, we will complete our service project before float fishing the nearby Wind/Bighorn River. This trip has it all: big mountains, big views, and big fish. Don’t miss out on this trip of a lifetime to one of the greatest fishing destinations in the world!
