For the Love of Fishing
To talk with George Hunker is to hear the wind rustling in the high mountains of Wyoming’s Wind River Range. Hunker has
owned Sweetwater Fishing Expeditions in Lander for over 30 years, one of only a few fly-fishing outfitters to take anglers into the
rugged Wind River Mountains. He specializes in guided camping trips to the high country and day fly-fishing excursions on the
smaller streams coming out of the Winds.
Growing up in New Mexico, George came to fishing at an early age. “I was addicted by the time I was 10 years old,” he says. He
made his way to Wyoming in his early 20’s, became a climbing guide with NOLS in some of the most jawdropping wilderness
locations. He married his sweetheart and now wife Paula in 1975 and by 1977 they started Sweetwater. A lifelong lover of the
outdoors, George speaks reverently about the mountains in which he works.
“The Wind Rivers are a rugged, rocky mountain range, with active glaciers and steep granite walls,” he says. You’ll find the
world’s largest herd of bighorn sheep here, and lots of moose, elk, deer, and smaller critters. The lakes we fish are from 9,000 to
12,000 feet up, carved out by the glaciers, and inhabited by all kinds of trout; mostly brook and cutthroat, but we get our share of
golden, rainbow, brown, and lake trout, too. We look to make the smallest environmental impact possible on our trips,” George
adds. Camps are kept small, clean, and primitive with almost no sign of “use.”
“Our goal is simple,” he says, “to take people to beautiful places, where trout abound, and where the simple camp life can
cleanse our minds and bodies. We are primarily about two things: fly fishing solitude and golden trout.”
Sweetwater’s clientele come from all over the globe. George has guided people from as far as England, Kenya, and Norway,
from the U.S. South and Midwest, and locally from Lander. George doesn’t hesitate to acknowledge how conservation has made
his world possible. “If it wasn’t for all of the conservation, sportsmen and agriculture groups working together to protect and
steward Wyoming’s resources, I and many others wouldn’t be in business.” Since its inception George has intentionally kept
Sweetwater Fishing Expeditions small. Now 61, he took on a “partner” five years ago to guide additional trips and recently his son
Hank has been assisting and will be running his own trips soon. “I love this life,” he says. “I get to share what I would do for free,
and provide an exhilarating and peaceful outdoor experience for all kinds of people. If I had my life to live over, I’d be right here.”
