About the North Popo Agie
The North Popo Agie flows out of the Wind River Mountains. It holds brook, brown, rainbow and Yellowstone cutthroat trout.
The fishing runs from high alpine water down to lower sections with more varied structure. The best water often takes a hike.
Stonefly and mayfly hatches give good dry fly fishing. Wyoming Game and Fish rates parts of it as Yellow Ribbon water.
