About
As a Bridger Teton National Forests permittee, Teton Troutfitters can guide you over 50 miles of varied river terrain, to suit your skill level and current fishing conditions.
Bald eagles, osprey, moose, otters, mountain views, and plenty of Cutthroat trout characterize this amazing river.
The upper Snake River is braided channels, with cut banks and log jams holding native Cutthroat trout. We offer full and half day fishing trips in these sections. Casting lessons are part of our program, and our fishing guides can start with a novice, or fine-tune an experienced angler.
All fly-fishing gear is included in every trip as well as lessons in its use, at no extra charge.

The best times to fish the rivers with Teton Troutfitters are as follows:
The Snake River is ideal in April, the last week of June, and throughout July, August, September, and October, but please note that only half-day trips are available during these peak times.
