Fishing licenses can be purchased online through the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s website. You can also visit local sporting goods stores or the Game and Fish Department office in Jackson Hole to obtain a fishing license.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s website is the best resource for fishing information and the rules and regulations specific to the state. It provides up-to-date information on fishing seasons, limits, special regulations, and any closures or restrictions that may be in place.
The weight of the rod, reel, and line you should purchase depends on the type of fishing you plan to do. In our area, a 4-6 weight rod is versatile and suitable for most trout fishing situations. Match the reel and line to the rod weight for optimal performance.
For most trout fishing situations, a weight-forward floating line is the most commonly used and versatile option. It allows for easy casting and presentation of flies on the surface or just below it. However, specific fishing conditions or techniques may require different types of lines, such as sinking or sinking-tip lines.
Typically, 100 to 150 yards of backing is sufficient for most trout fishing scenarios. To attach the backing to the reel, you’ll first tie an Arbor Knot around the reel spindle. Then, wind the backing onto the reel, making sure it is evenly distributed and tightly wound.
Fluorocarbon leaders are less visible underwater than monofilament leaders, making them advantageous in situations where fish are particularly wary or the water is clear. Mono leaders, on the other hand, tend to be more supple and are better suited for dry fly fishing or situations where presentation and delicacy are crucial.
Tippet is a separate, thinner section of monofilament or fluorocarbon line that you attach to the end of your leader. It allows for easier fly changes and serves as the final connection between the leader and the fly. To attach tippet, use a surgeon’s knot, blood knot, or a loop-to-loop connection.
Mayflies are aquatic insects that belong to the order Ephemeroptera. They are an essential food source for trout and other fish species in many rivers and lakes. Mayflies have a distinct life cycle, transitioning from nymphs (juveniles) to emergers and then adult winged insects. They are known for their delicate appearance and the hatches they create, attracting feeding fish.
Nymphs are the immature stage of aquatic insects, including mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies. They live underwater and resemble miniature versions of the adult insects. Nymph patterns imitate these underwater insects and are often used to catch fish when they are feeding below the water’s surface.
Dry flies are designed to imitate adult insects that float on the water’s surface. They are typically made with materials that make them buoyant, such as feathers or synthetic fibers. Dry fly fishing involves casting the fly onto the surface and imitating the movements of an insect in distress or laying eggs, enticing fish to rise and take the fly.
Streamers are large, often bulky flies that imitate baitfish, leeches, or other large aquatic creatures. They are typically fished below the water’s surface, either by stripping or swinging them through the water. Streamer fishing is often associated with targeting larger predatory fish, such as trout, bass, or pike. The action of the streamer can trigger aggressive strikes from these fish.

Everyone in our group raved about the experience. All the guides are fantastic and clearly have a passion for putting clients on the fish. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top quality fishing guides in the Jackson Hole area. They will certainly be our go-to outfitter for future trips.Brian TuggleRyan, just wanted to thank you and Teton Troutfitters for a great day of fishing on the Snake yesterday. Tom and I both agreed it was one of best days we have had there, enjoyed fishing with you. Thanks, and Tight LinesMichael LewisOur guide, Nic, was outstanding. First, he’s a joy to be around. Extremely patient, super friendly and very knowledgeable about fishing and the overall area. His technical instruction is clear and easy to understand. His approach to fishing is thoughtful, meaning he goes the extra mile to do what’s needed to find fish. We had two successful days of catching great trout but the days were a success regardless of landing fish. I look forward to next time! Thanks, Nic!BobAwesome day on the Snake River with Nic. Excellent, knowledgeable, patient, talented, and FUN man to be around. He put us on fish all day and taught us so much. His passion for what he does made our day! May God bless your hard work Nic!Jon DankworthFloat the canyon with Nic! He was as skilled on the white water as he was at getting us into some big native cutthroat trout on dries, droppers, and streamers. The conversation between hoops and hollers was equally as enjoyable. Go fish with these dudes.James A. Daly IIIWhat an incredible trip! Our guide, Nick, was exquisitely knowledgeable about fishing the river, flies, and rigs. We had plenty of good fishing action and caught a good number of cut throat trout. Even though we are beginners in fly fishing, Nick’s patient guidance and encouragement had us casting flies like we were old hands at it. We could not have been more pleased with our experience with Teton Troutfitters - from booking all the way to the fishing. Definitely 5 stars!Lake DalyWe had an amazing time and could not believe how many trout we caught! Nick was awsome, so upbeat and personable.Ryan D KralmanWe spent a day with Ryan on the Snake today and it was phenomenal. He had us on fish all day long. He truly knows knows this river and where the fish are. I've been on a number of guide trips around the west and have to say this was one of the best I've ever done. I highly recommend Ryan and his team and plan to come back and fish with him again.Vito MazzacaneRyan and Nick are the best! They are experts at what they do. We will be back.
