My guiding year in Jackson Hole follows the rhythm of the rivers and the hatches that bring the trout to life. From the spring melt, when the rivers begin to clear and the first hatches appear, through the vibrant summer months with their prolific insect activity, and into the crisp fall when the larger trout become more aggressive, there's always something exciting happening on the water. Each season offers a unique experience, from the technical dry-fly fishing of summer to the streamer fishing opportunities as the water cools in the fall. I tailor each trip to the conditions and the angler's desires, ensuring a memorable day on the Snake River, Salt River, Green River, or our exclusive private waters.
