Thoughts on the 2021 Guide Season – Covid, early water forecast & pre-bookings
Wow, in nearly a blink of eye, we are heading full steam into another Spring season with our peak summer season looming before too long. We hate to see time fly by so quickly, yet it sure is nice to have 2020 in our rear view mirror. For our business we couldn't have been more fortunate. A strong community covid plan combined with a high demand for outdoor recreation meant we were one of the lucky businesses coming out of 2020, yet the stress and uncertainties were real and we feel tremendo...

Ice Fishing with Grand Teton Fly Fishing – Ice Fish Jackson Hole!
For many years we have sought out a viable private lake access for those early summer days when the rivers are too high for good angling, a location to take beginners, kids or perhaps disabled, looking for a safe and fun experience. Well, in 2019 we met Lelio Ravagnani, owner of Lava Creek Ranch on the east side of Togwotee Pass and our relationship began. His property and our growing partnership has fulfilled that early season venue. In addition, starting in 2020 we acquired all the nece...

Spring Water & Fishing Update and Coronavirus – Revised 3/27/20
Much has transpired in the last few weeks and we feel it is important to deliver a message about our current and future operating plans. First, the spring fishing has been very good and before the resorts closed on March 15, 2020 we had several very successful trips to the Snake River during one of our favorite times of the season. At this time of the year streamers and midges will be your best approach. In the next few weeks we expect to see a push of skwalla stoneflies move up river just b...

Spring 2019 Water Report
A look at our current conditions, April 23, 2019 Our winter took its time getting started this past season with minimal snow in November, December and January. Local ski areas had just enough snow to work with to keep our holiday visitors happy and it seemed just as it was beginning to look bad we would get a few inches or so to cover the trails in a soft new coat. That all changed late in January, just as our guides Josh Gallivan and Scott Smith took a group of hardy winter anglers to Ab...

Summer 2018 Season Summary
This past Summer Season of 2018 was one of the best in recent memory which is a bold statement since most years are quite good with only slight variations coming into play. To have these great conditions line up we first need a healthy snowpack up in the Teton Range. This season we started with a generous 120% of our annual snowfall, a bit over average but that number helps mitigate the damage of a warm spring and hot, dry summer that are unfortunately more common in recent years. The wet w...

Water Forecast for Summer 2018
June 13, 2018 As we quickly approach the Summer Solstice it is now a safe bet to make some more precise water predictions for the upcoming prime summer fishing season. Our peak flows on the Snake River occurred two weeks ago topping out around 27,200 cfs in the Snake River canyon, a healthy flush but not a record runoff at all. Currently tribs are on the drop; settling and clearing will increase over the next 3 weeks with most runoff ending by early July, a couple weeks sooner than previous...
