Rainbow Trout
The Star Valley near Thayne, Wyoming, offers phenomenal rainbow trout fishing in its numerous rivers and streams. The Salt River, Greys River, and smaller tributaries are prime locations. What makes this area special is the combination of relatively easy access and healthy, wild rainbow populations. Spring and early summer, after the runoff subsides, are ideal. Fish become more active as water temperatures rise. Fall is also productive as trout feed heavily before winter. A local tip: focus on the seams and eddies where the current breaks; rainbows often lie in wait for drifting insects. Also, be prepared for changing weather conditions, even in summer. Access to the Salt River is good from several bridge crossings along Highway 89. Remember to check local regulations regarding catch and release requirements.
