There's a fish with your name on it in Cody and WY Reel Action Fishing will help you catch it! With Captain Eric at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Around here the fishing is popular for Cutthroat Trout, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and more if conditions allow. During the trip, you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You're welcome to keep some of the fish you catch, so long as it's legal. Capt. Eric can even clean your catch for you. Your next meal doesn't get any fresher than that!

Capt. Eric welcomes children aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.

Your boat for the day is a 21' Hewescraft aluminum fishing craft with room for 4 passengers. It comes with downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, bait and tackle are provided, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials you'll want to bring are sunglasses, rain gear, and sunblock (non-spray). Water is included, free of charge.  There will be some light snacks for you on board.

Now's the time to experience fishing in the Cody area for yourself, with WY Reel Action Fishing!

Incredibly Great Time!!
Full Day Trip – Powerboat Fishing on June 19, 20262 adults

We had an amazing fullday fishing excursion with Captain Eric. He was super knowledgable about all of the fishing, the equipment, and the fish…..basically everything. We caught an incredible amount of trout, including a massive Cut-throat trout and a very large rainbow, that he cleaned for us. We will definitely be back again, and he is highly recommended.

First fishing trip in WY
Half Day Trip – Powerboat Fishing on June 12, 20262 adults

We met the Captain Eric at 7AM and left the docks immediately after a Safety Overview. We used four poles while trolling. I lost the exact count of fish that we caught but more than 12 in four hours. Captain fillet two of our fish and we ate them for dinner that night and they were tasty. We had a great time and my wife caught her first fish ever.

Half Day Trip – Powerboat Fishing on June 26, 20263 adults

We caught twenty in four hours… mostly rainbow, one rainbow/cutthroat hybrid, and two brown. Kept four— which captain Eric cleaned for us— and released the rest. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The boat itself is great as is the equipment. All in all, a great experience and worth everything we paid.

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Eric was a wonderful guide. He answered all of our questions about fish biology, ensured we caught a good amount of fish and filleted them for us. He also had snacks and water for us. We really enjoyed our trip with him and would do it again in a heartbeat.
