The Miracle Mile, Like No Place on Earth!
In the months of March, April & May the Miracle Mile is quite possibly the single best fishery in the lower 48. The Mile is a tailwater section of the North Platte River below Seminoe Reservoir in Central Wyoming that runs into Pathfinder Reservoir. In the spring months, GIANT RAINBOWS migrate out of Pathfinder Reservoir into the river (Miracle Mile) offering anglers the closest thing to Steelhead fishing in the Rocky Mountain Region.

In low water droubt years, the river miles from Seminoe Dam to the inlet of Pathfinder can be 15 miles. However, when the reservoir is full as it is now, the distance from the Dam to the inlet is around 5 miles. What does this mean for anglers? Put simply, there is less river for fish to spread out meaning a higher density per mile of really big trout. Generally, when Pathfinder is full this is a result of a good snow pack & bigger water releases from Seminoe dam. These higher flows poring into the inlet attract more fish as was the case last year.
