Fly Fishing Snake River Wyoming
The Snake River headwaters are in the Southeastern
Section of Yellowstone National Park. That section is
covered under another Perfect Fly Stream Section. The
Snake River in this section runs from Yellowstone Park
through Teton National Park to Jackson Lake and
includes the tailwater section from the dam at Jackson
Lake to the mouth of Palisades Reservoir. The river also
runs through the Bridger Teton National Forest. Most all
of this section of the Snake River flows through the most
scenic section of the United States. In addition to the
snow capped Teton Mountains, you will see wildlife
along the river including moose, elk, deer and eagles.
The Snake River in this part of its long course is known
for its fine dry-fly fishing. The Snake River Cutthroat are
usually not all that selective and will take attractor flies
very well. Imitations of large terrestrial insects are very
popular and productive during the short season.
The river holds plenty cutthroats between ten to sixteen
inches, a few over that size and some as large as twenty
inches. This river has braided channels, log jams,
undercut banks and all types of cover that provide
excellent holding places for the cutthroat.
Seasons:
This river doesn't clear up below Pacific Creek until
around the middle of July to the first of August.
Winter:
Closed Season
Spring:
There is a short period prior to the runoff that is
fishable. Spring runoff starts in May and extends into
late July. It is a ragging mess during the runoff.
Summer:
The first part of summer is taken by the spring runoff.
After the runoff ends, the river continues to drop and
provides great fishing. The best fishing is from the
middle of August through September.
Fall:
The short period of time from the end of Summer until
near the end of October is usually a great time for fly
fishing the Snake River.
Fly Fishing Guide to the Snake River:
