Your Guide to Fishing the Waters of Jackson Hole
The waters of Jackson Hole provide world renowned fishing experiences. Fishing for the native Cutthroat Trout can be an experience of a lifetime. Not only will the angling experience be one of a kind, but, you will be immersed in the beauty of the valley. Going with a knowledgeable local guide will put you on the fish while incorporating an interpretive tour of your surroundings. These adventures can be full or half day, in the morning or afternoon. Trips are either walk-in or on a boat. Fishing on the Snake River is best by boat, you can cover more area and many of the fish live along the rivers banks. Boats generally hold two people and the guide, a small child can be added for a nominal fee in some instances. Larger groups can be accommodated with advanced notice.
