Big Sandy Lodge

Sweetwater Fishing Expeditions, LLC is a fly fishing outfitter in the Lander, Wyoming area specializing in guided camping trips into the grand and rugged Wind River Mountains and day fly fishing excursions on the smaller streams coming out of the east side of the Winds. We live a simple, rustic life in these mountains, camping right where the fishing is best. Our purpose is to fish where it is truly beautiful, where we don't feel confined, where there are no crowds. Since 1977, we have enjoyed taking all types and ages of people with us on trips into the "Winds." We do animal supported walking trips, full horse pack trips, and backpacking trips. We specialize in fly fishing solitude and golden trout. The Wind Rivers are a rugged, rocky mountain range, with active glaciers and steep granite walls. The world's largest herd of Bighorn Sheep reside here, not to mention moose, elk, deer, and smaller mammals. The range, varying in elevation from 8, 000 to 13, 800 feet, is known for thousands of glacially carved lakes, often inhabited by trout. Brook and cutthroat trout predominate, but golden, rainbow, brown, and lake trout can often be found. We take only small groups on our fly fishing trips and can objectively say we have something for everyone. Our trips are custom- designed to the guests' wishes. We can choose areas where you catch a trout on every cast or only see five-pound cruisers. With so many lakes ( and the streams running between ), we have lots to choose from. The golden trout can usually be found in most drainages of the Winds in the highest and most remote areas. Our goal is to take people to beautiful places, where trout abound, and where the simple camp life can cleanse our minds and bodies. Rejuvenation is why our trips are a true vacation.
