Will Dornan has guided fly anglers on the Snake River and its tributaries for 40 years, building a legendary reputation for technical dry-fly fishing and sight-casting in Jackson Hole. He operates from Moose and Jackson, covering the Snake River mainstem, the Green River, New Fork River, Salt River, and Flat Creek—waters that span Grand Teton National Park, Bridger-Teton National Forest, and Teton Wilderness. His approach is seasonal and adaptive: spring brings clearer water and active trout, summer offers prolific hatches and rising fish, fall delivers aggressive feeding brown trout against a backdrop of changing aspens, and winter provides its own opportunities. Dornan's deep knowledge of these waters and his ability to read conditions and fish behavior have made him a destination guide for serious fly anglers seeking the full Jackson Hole experience.

Fishing methods and approaches
My guiding year on the Snake River and its tributaries is a dynamic dance with the seasons, each offering a unique angling experience. The spring thaw often brings clearer waters and the chance to pursue trout as they become more active. As summer arrives, the hatches become more prolific, and the rivers teem with life, providing excellent opportunities for dry-fly fishing and sight-casting to rising fish. Fall is a spectacular time, with the changing colors of the landscape mirroring the aggressive feeding behavior of trout preparing for winter. The cooler temperatures and crisp air make for perfect days on the water, and the fishing can be phenomenal, especially for larger brown trout. I operate throughout these seasons, adapting my approach to the conditions and the behavior of the fish, ensuring a memorable trip for every client.
