Mr. Botangles Returns: Birthday Trout & Tangles in Alcova, WY
byStan Cromlish

In this episode of Wandering Gypsy RV Life, host Stan Cromlish takes us back to the tiny Wyoming town of Alcova—where the trout are legendary, the rivers are crystal clear, and the town sign proudly declares, “It’s a Dam Site!”

As Stan gears up for his epic 55th birthday trip at the end of May, he reflects on last year’s unforgettable float down the North Platte River with fishing buddy Rowdy and local guide Brian. From tangling every possible line on the boat (earning the nickname Mr. Botangles) to landing slab-sized rainbows in the Grey Reef section, this trip was packed with laughs, lessons, and lots of midges.

This year, the same crew reunites—with Bertie Bea parked at The Reef Fly Shop, Cottages, and RV as home base—for another shot at Wyoming trout, campfire stories, and untangling memories.

🎣 Want to know what makes Alcova a hidden gem for fly fishing and RV life? Tune in for river stories, small-town charm, and a sneak peek at what’s to come this birthday week.
