You step out of the truck into thin, cold air and feel the Teton skyline pull focus — granite ridges above, a river carving its way through willow and sage below. A guide checks waders and knots while the current murmurs, daring you to find the seam where trout lie. This is a walk-wade day on Jackson Hole waters: close, tactile fishing that rewards patience and quiet movement.
