Winter Fly Fishing is Beginning

Just completed the first proper winter fly fishing trip of the season. I had the pleasure of taking Ray out while he and his wife visited Jackson this past week. We managed to get a couple hours in on the water before a much needed snow storm swept into the region. As we fished, winds picked up and temperatures dropped. This didn’t stop Ray from landing a few hard fishing mountain whitefish! He had a blast and is determined to come back during prime fishing season.

Winter fishing is always an adventure around here in Jackson Hole. It’s a great activity for those who want to get out and try to fool a few fish during our winter months. The next week looks pretty good with valley temperatures predicted to be in the 40s. If you’re coming in for the holidays and are interested, you can learn more here.
