Fly fishing the Snake River in early March

Some good days winter fly fishing

We’ve been experiencing some warm days here in Jackson Hole lately and I’ve been out on the water guiding some anglers. While fishing hasn’t been exactly easy, it’s been pretty decent, with folks learning how to fly fish and finding a few cutthroat and whitefish in the process. Nothing is cooler than helping folks ease into the fly fishing game and watching them hook their first fish on the long rod! We’ve been able to enjoy some nice walks into fishing spots due to the lack of snow and in addition to seeing some fish, we’ve also seen moose and eagles. All in all, a good way to spend the days!

While I have been seeing midges on the water, our fish have come fishing a dry/dropper, with the dropper getting it done. I suspect fishing will continue to be good as we get into March.

Not to be outdone, Adams father Eric got a nice cutthroat too! These guys are spoiled!
