NORTH PLATTE RIVER WEEKEND UPDATE
October 31–November 1, 2026

💧 GREY REEF FLOW: 457 CFS

Grey Reef is running at 457 CFS as we head into November. Lower flows, cold mornings and true late-fall weather are settling in, but fishing on the North Platte continues to be strong.

🎣 FISHING HIGHLIGHTS

Nymphing remains the most dependable approach, with midges, BWOs, Tricos and a few caddis still in the mix. Leeches, annelids and worm patterns continue to be solid attractors, with smaller RS2s and midge patterns worth trailing behind.

Streamer fishing is still a great option, too. Try working leeches and crayfish patterns slowly and deep, or target slower water and structure with larger streamers.

Brown trout are spawning, so please keep an eye out for redds, stay off spawning beds and give actively spawning fish plenty of room.

🌥️ WEEKEND WEATHER

Saturday: A 30% chance of morning showers, then gradual clearing with a high near 48°F. Breezy, with gusts up to 32 mph. Overnight low around 37°F.

Sunday: Mostly cloudy with a high near 49°F and a 30% chance of showers after noon. Showers become more likely Sunday night, with a low around 32°F.

It may be chilly, but late fall can deliver some excellent days on the Reef. Layer up, keep the nymph and streamer boxes handy, and enjoy Halloween weekend on the North Platte!

NORTH PLATTE RIVER WEEKEND UPDATE
October 24–25, 2026

💧 GREY REEF FLOW: 455 CFS

Flows have dropped again on the Grey Reef, and the river is settling firmly into late-fall conditions. Cooler temperatures and lower water are changing the pace, but fishing continues to be solid.

🎣 FISHING HIGHLIGHTS

Nymphing continues to be the most dependable approach, with midges, BWOs, Tricos and a few caddis still in the mix. Leeches, annelids and worm patterns remain good attractor choices, followed by smaller RS2s and midge patterns.

Streamer anglers still have plenty to work with, too. Smaller streamers are currently outperforming the big articulated patterns, with leeches and other smaller profiles worth working through deeper or slower water.

One important fall reminder: brown trout have begun spawning on the Reef. Please watch for redds, stay off spawning beds and give those fish plenty of space.

🌥️ WEEKEND WEATHER

Saturday:

with gradual clearing, high near 50°F. Light to moderate east-northeast winds.

Sunday: Partly sunny with a high near 51°F and light winds. A 30% chance of showers Sunday night, with a low around 33°F.

It’s going to be a cool, quiet fall weekend on the North Platte. Layer up, keep the nymph and streamer boxes handy, and enjoy late October on the Reef!

Fall Fishing & Wild Weather

💧 GREY REEF FLOW: 498 CFS
Grey Reef continues to hold steady right around 500 CFS. Fall fishing is in full swing, with cooler water, good clarity, and plenty of opportunity throughout the system.

🎣 FISHING HIGHLIGHTS
Midges, fall BWOs, fall caddis, and Tricos are all still active, while streamer and nymph fishing continue to produce excellent results. The upper stretches below the dam are dealing with some floating grass, while conditions improve farther downstream and fishing has been particularly strong below Government Bridge. This is prime fall fishing season, but Saturday’s wind will be the big factor. Plan your presentation accordingly and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions as the weather system moves in Saturday night.

☀️ WEEKEND WEATHER
Saturday: Sunny and warm with a high near 79°F, but very windy. Southwest winds 22–28 mph with gusts potentially reaching 41 mph.
Saturday Night: Increasing clouds with a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Breezy, low around 48°F.

Sunday: Much cooler and mostly cloudy with a high near 67°F. Showers likely, with thunderstorms possible later in the afternoon.
Sunday Night: Showers and possibly a thunderstorm, low around 44°F, with winds potentially gusting to 43 mph overnight.

Saturday brings the sunshine, Sunday brings the fall weather, and the Reef keeps fishing. Pack for changing conditions and enjoy October on the North Platte!

NORTH PLATTE RIVER WEEKEND UPDATE
September 26–27, 2026

💧 GREY REEF FLOW: 494 CFS
Flows remain low and steady on the Grey Reef, sitting just under 500 CFS. Cooler nights are helping water temperatures, and fall conditions are starting to settle in across the system.

🎣 FISHING HIGHLIGHTS
Fall patterns are beginning to take over. Caddis, worms, leeches and crawdad patterns have all been producing, while PMDs are still hanging around in smaller numbers. The upper Reef does have some grass in the system, but it remains very fishable.
With flows this low, continue focusing on deeper runs, defined seams and good moving water. Cooler temperatures are opening up more of the day for anglers, and the voluntary warm-water closure below Lusby has officially been lifted.

☀️ WEEKEND WEATHER
Saturday: Sunny and breezy with a high near 80°F. West-southwest winds could gust up to 23 mph.
Sunday: Partly sunny and breezy with a high near 79°F. Gusts could reach 21 mph, with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday night.
