Wilson Fishing Guides is a locally operated guide service specializing in fly fishing experiences on the Snake River and nearby waters. The company offers a range of guided trips—including full and half day Walk/Wade tours, Scenic Float Tours, Big Boat full- and half-day trips, and Classic Drift Boat adventures—designed for anglers of all skill levels. Guides provide personalized instruction focused on Snake River Cutthroat Trout, tailoring river selection and tactics to season and customer goals. Trips highlight the dramatic Teton mountain backdrop and prioritize time on rivers that deliver prime fishing conditions throughout the year. The Classic Drift Boat trip uses a comfortable McKenzie-style driftboat that navigates a 13-mile roadless stretch of the Snake River, offering ergonomic seating, casting braces, cup holders, and fishing PFDs for safety and comfort. Big Boat and walk-and-wade options accommodate groups, families, and events such as bachelor or bachelorette outings, with a crew-friendly approach that keeps every angler engaged. Scenic Float Tours provide a relaxed alternative to traditional rafting, emphasizing wildlife viewing and river scenery alongside catch-and-release fly fishing opportunities. Reservations, trip durations, and river choices are presented transparently at booking; gear requirements and what to expect are communicated in advance so guests arrive prepared. Wilson Fishing Guides combines local river knowledge, targeted instruction, and a variety of boat and wading formats to create memorable, safe, and well-guided fishing days. Day trips are suitable for individuals seeking cast instruction, family bonding, group celebrations, and photographers seeking iconic Teton-and-river landscape shots throughout the fishing season annually.
