Jackson, Wyoming, is a gateway to some of the most pristine cold-water angling in the American West. High Alpine Anglers offers expertly guided fly fishing trips that put you right on the banks of legendary waters like the Snake River, Gros Ventre, and nearby alpine streams.

What sets High Alpine Anglers apart is their deep local knowledge paired with a commitment to sustainable fishing practices that honor Wyoming’s sensitive ecosystems.

Jackson and the surrounding Bridger-Teton National Forest provide a backdrop of wild grandeur rarely matched in lower 48 states. Here, jagged granite peaks meet sagebrush flats and cold, blue rivers teeming with life. The angler’s challenge includes not only reading currents and riffles but also appreciating the ecological balance supporting these historic fisheries. High Alpine Anglers enhances this experience by focusing on hands-on fly fishing techniques and local conservation.
Anglers seeking a trip in Wyoming’s backcountry will find these guided journeys an accessible yet thrilling introduction to high alpine waters. Each day on the river reveals changing weather and wildlife, from soaring raptors overhead to the occasional elk or moose drinking at the shoreline.
