| Unlimited options await Jackson Hole anglers! There is a reason why Jackson Hole was chosen in 1997 as the setting for the World Fly Fishing Championship, considered the "Olympics of fly fishing." The variety of waters, abundant wild trout and, of course, the scenery made Jackson Hole an irresistible location for the organizers.
Jackson Hole guides and outfitters say the area hold the greatest variety of fishing in the lower 48 states. Fishermen who travel all over to practice their sport agree that Jackson Hole has it all. Fishermen can choose any difficulty level, from beginner to expert, as well as the type of fishing they desire. Awaiting them are spring creeks or the Snake River, its south fork, the Green River near Pinedale, the Firehole River in Yellowstone National Park, or Jackson, Jenny, or Leigh Lakes in the Grand Teton National Park. Young and old fishermen alike can toss a line in Flat Creek, which runs right through the town of Jackson.
Anglers can pursue wild brown, rainbow or native cutthroat trout. Visitors also can choose among the several, large fly shops and guide services in the valley. Experts recommend against wasting precious vacation time trying to find the best fishing on your own. Instead, they urge first-time visitors to secure an experienced guide.
We specialize in hooking up fishermen with guides, shops, or other services before coming to the valley.
Professional guide services generally cost from $285 and up, and the guide provides the boat, equipment, lunch, and some instruction if needed for two people. Fly fishing lessons are also available for beginners or advanced fishermen from most outfitters. |
