Cutthroat Trout
Jackson, Wyoming, is a gateway to some of the finest cutthroat trout fishing in the West, particularly the Snake River Fine-Spotted Cutthroat Trout. The Snake River itself is the main draw, offering wade-fishing and float-fishing opportunities. The best time to target cutthroat here is typically from late spring to early fall, after the snowmelt subsides and before the water temperatures drop significantly. Be aware that the Snake River can experience rapid changes in water levels due to dam releases, so checking flows before you go is a must. A productive strategy is to focus on the riffles and runs with attractor dry flies or nymphing with stonefly patterns. A local tip: Check out the smaller tributaries of the Snake, such as the Gros Ventre River; these often hold good populations of cutthroat and experience less angling pressure. Anglers should be aware of the regulations specific to the Snake River drainage regarding cutthroat conservation, often requiring the use of single, barbless hooks and catch-and-release practices.
