Fishing news, spring update, etc

It’s April’s and the fly fishing here in Jackson Hole is really good. After a winter of cold temperatures and nymph fishing, I’m happy to report that our native cutthroat trout are feeding voraciously on the surface. Anglers will see pods of fish sipping emerging midges and small black stoneflies. Additionally with warmer temperatures forecasted, I suspect we’ll start seeing the emergence of Skwala stoneflies and Blue Wing Olives. It’s a great time to be dry fly fishing on the Snake!

For those looking to fish this season, shoot me an email or call. Guided fishing trips are as follows: April- Snake, May- lakes, possible floats on the Snake and Green depending on runoff, End of May- June- Yellowstone Park wading the Firehole, etc. End of June-October- floating and wade fishing just about everything around here.

And finally, I’m sad to report that Lulu passed away last week. To those that knew here, Lulu was a sweetheart. She was always up for an adventure and was kind to all she met. While fishing wasn’t her strong suit (can’t blame a lab for wanting to retrieve fish) she was such a great companion; hiking, swimming, and living life to her fullest. Our house is quiet without her.

Lulu keeping an eye on the water while fishing this past October. Gonna miss her
