Smallmouth Bass
While not as widely known as trout fishing, smallmouth bass fishing near Jackson, Wyoming, offers a unique opportunity in the Snake River and some of its warmer tributaries. The key is locating areas with slower currents and rocky structure where these fish can ambush prey. Summer is prime time, as the water warms and the smallmouth become more active. Crayfish imitations, tubes, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. Focus on areas near the banks, especially where there are submerged rocks or logs. Be aware that the Snake River can be challenging to navigate, so exercise caution when wading or boating. Access points are available along Highway 89, but be prepared to hike to find less pressured areas. The smallmouth in this region are not native, so check local regulations regarding catch and release practices.
