This week on the Wandering Gypsy RV Life Podcast, Stan Cromlish takes you straight to the banks of Wyoming’s iconic North Platte River for a fly fishing week filled with laughter, lifelong friendships, and big trout energy.

Joined by longtime friends Rowdy and expert guide Brian Hilbert of Bucktrout Outfitters, Stan recounts an epic float down the famed Grey Reef section, a humbling day on the lower river, and a last-minute lake redemption that proves great guides don’t give up—they pivot.

Along the way, you’ll hear stories of shared snacks, missed hooksets, and life reminders from the boat deck. From stellar fishing days to the simple joy of good company, Stan shares the real rhythm of RV life on the river.

Plus, he gives a glowing shoutout to The Reef Fly Shop, Cottages, and RV Park—the week’s home base and a must-visit destination for RVers and fly fishers alike.
