If you’re a long time/independent angler looking to leave the crowds behind and spend a full day fishing wild waters that most folks never reach, our Ride & Fish trip was made for you.  We saddle up seasoned, mountain-savvy horses and head out at a relaxed walking pace—no need to be an expert rider or cartographer. These trustworthy partners know their way around the backcountry and are more than happy to carry you, your rod, waders, lunch, and a few trail snacks into the heart of Wyoming’s trout country. Along the way, we pass through big views and quiet stretches of water teeming with a variety of trout species. Our fishing guides have hand picked and curated fly boxes specific to the areas we fish, so you’re always throwing something that works with the season.

New to fly fishing? Or just looking to sharpen your skills? No problem! We are happy to provide additional support for beginners. Our lead fly fishing guide, Amanda, is always to ride along and provide instruction stream side. Consider the journey a rolling master class—plenty of time in the saddle to talk tactics, ask questions, and share stories before even making a first cast.

This isn’t your average day on the river. It’s a full immersion into mountain life, with the best of both worlds: remote fishing and real-time support from seasoned guides and happy horses.

Even in the shortest time, there’s something unforgettable about experiencing Wyoming on horseback. The steady rhythm of hooves against the earth, the scent of sun-warmed sage, and the breathtaking sweep of the Wind River and Absaroka Mountain Ranges—it all comes together in a way that stays with you long after the ride ends.

While some guests ask about one-hour rides, we believe that two hours is the perfect window—just enough time to immerse yourself in the beauty of the land, form a connection with your horse, and truly breathe in the stillness of Wyoming’s wild places.

Our horses have safely carried young riders experiencing their first time in the saddle, as well as medaled Olympians looking for a quick ride to fulfill their equine addictions. These rides are not fast-paced, as the rocky terrain and steep climbs and descents require steady navigation. Our horses are well cared for, and their endurance is built throughout the years, ensuring they are surefooted, confident, and ready to carry riders along mountain trails.

Our location is unmatched, offering riders views that capture the rugged charm of the West. Whether you’re a first-time rider or a seasoned horseman/woman, this leisurely-paced journey allows you to relax into the saddle, soak in the views, and get a taste of the Wyoming backcountry.
