About Your Trip

Join Captain Ryan for an exceptional fishing experience on Alcova Reservoir, one of the North Platte River’s premier fishing destinations. Just a short drive from Casper, WY, Alcova is famous for its fast-action trout fishing, with brown, cutthroat, and rainbow trout ready to test your skills. Add in the feisty kokanee salmon and a healthy population of walleye, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for an action-packed day on the water.

Captain Ryan’s guided trips
are tailored to suit anglers of all experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned pro looking to troll for trophy trout in the scenic Fremont Canyon or a newcomer eager to hunt for walleye in one of the reservoir’s many hidden “alcoves,” Captain Ryan will make sure your day is filled with great fishing and good times. His modern 21’ tournament fishing boat comfortably accommodates up to four guests, and with all rods, reels, and tackle included, you’ll have everything you need for a successful outing.

Fishing with Captain Ryan means you’ll get to try a variety of techniques based on your preferences and the day’s conditions. From trolling and jigging to bottom-bouncing and casting, Captain Ryan’s expertise and personalized instruction will help you master each method and maximize your chances for a catch. With a keen eye on the water and years of experience, he’ll guide you to the best spots to target trout, kokanee, and walleye.

On full-day trips, Captain Ryan offers the option of a traditional shore lunch, where you can savor freshly prepared fish right by the water’s edge. It’s the perfect way to break up the day and enjoy a delicious meal made from your own catch. Prefer to pack your own lunch? No problem—Captain Ryan can take you to Swim Beach or the dock at Alcova Resort, where you can enjoy your picnic or grab a bite at the local restaurant. Bottled water is always supplied onboard to keep you hydrated and ready for action.

Alcova’s scenic beauty, combined with Captain Ryan’s commitment to top-notch service and client satisfaction, ensures that your fishing trip will be more than just a day on the water—it will be an adventure you’ll never forget. From families looking for a fun outing to avid anglers hoping to land their next big trophy, Captain Ryan’s trips offer something for everyone.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
