Ever since I began summer fly fishing trips to Colorado about 15 years ago, Jim Daniel has been pointing me to Casper, Wyoming.
Go north, young man! There is breath-taking fly fishing. It is a bucket list place.
Not that the rivers where Jim, a transplanted Arkie, took me in Colorado were poor for fly fishing. The headwaters of the North Platte in the Walden area, the Frying Pan near Basalt, the South Platte near Deckers and the Colorado near Kremmling are famous and provide a chance at a trophy trout.
“But for really BIG fish, you need to drive to Casper,” Jim said.
