More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The river opens like a chapter in a weathered map: cold water, a high valley sky, and the Grand Teton range sliced sharp on the horizon. On a half-day walk-wade fly fishing trip out of Jackson Hole you move along braided runs and willow-lined banks, casting into pockets where trout hold in the current. Expect long casts to seam water, stealthy approaches through ankle- to waist-deep flows, and quiet moments when a rising trout will change the pace.
