Snake River Fly Fishing Report

Check the snake river fly fishing report for the most up-to-date fly fishing conditions on the Snake River in Jackson Hole.  The Snake River is a fantastic fishery for anglers of all ability levels. The fishery is very healthy, with strong numbers of native Snake River Finespot Cutthroat Trout. The average size fish is 8″ – 14″, with many fish over 16″ and a surprising amount in the 20″+ range. The beginning angler will have plenty of opportunities to hook and land trout in all size ranges, while getting the big ‘yellow bellies’ to pose for a picture takes some skill.

There are 80 miles of fish-able river between Jackson Lake Dam and the end of the canyon at Palisades Reservoir. The upper stretch flows approx 35 miles through Grand Teton National Park and offers some of the most majestic scenery imaginable. The lower river has many different characteristics and produces some of the most consistent fishing.

While fishing the Snake from a drift boat is the most productive way to fish the river, there are many good wading accesses, stop by the shop and we will draw you a map! Enjoy the latest report from Westbank Anglers.
