Another good fly fishing season has drawn to a close here at Teton Fly Fishing. Thanks to everyone who fished with me this year. Below are a few pics from the fall.
I went up to Helena MT a few weeks back and picked up a new Adipose Skiff. It’s resting comfortably in the garage awaiting spring. Excited to fish out of it even though it’s essentially the same as my last one.
In the coming months I’ll continue to do a few winter fly fishing trips here and there. The Snake allows for year round fishing and it isn’t uncommon to spend a few hours wade fishing on it and fool a few fish. Additionally, I’m back in the classroom, substitute teaching. It’s nice to see familiar staff and students.
Kevin and I work a rising fish on the Yellowstone River. While the Yellowstone in the Park is a quality not quantity fishery, it’s an amazing place to spend a day. Geysers, bison and the occasional trophy Yellowstone cutthroat trout make is special.Korey, Kevin’s son brought this beauty to the net. These guys have been fishing with me for years and it was fun to show them this special water. We missed some nice fish and it was awesome to finally get one in!Bill hooks his first fish on the Firehole River. He’s fished with me before but this was his first time fishing in Yellowstone. We had a great fall day swinging soft hackles and, as the day warmed, twitching hoppers.One of many fine spotted snake river cutthroat trout Terri caught. She and her husband joined me for a fun day in September. There is no where I’d rather be than floating the Snake in the fall.George caught his (and my) white whale. Jamie and I managed to sneak away to Yellowstone for three days. Here she is showing off a cutthroat trout from Slough Creek. Slough is one of the coolest places I’ve fished- slow water, selective fish made for a fun day. Kurt hooked up with a snake river cutthroat trout. In October fish like to pod up in the shallow riffles. Once bugs start hatching it can be a free for all. My client and friend, David, joined me for my last float of the season. We had a great day despite the cold. As temperatures warmed, the dry fly fishing really picked up.David and I are all smiles after a great day on the water!Lulu poses with the new Adipose Flow skiff. She and I made the round trip drive to Helena to pick it up, leaving Jackson at 5:30 am and arriving back home with the new boat at 4:45 pm. We were road warriors.

It’s been an extremely busy July around here. My days have/ are being spent with great folks casting dry flies to our local trout. In addition to wade trips, float fishing has really gotten good. Lately I’ve been floating anglers on the Snake and it’s great to be back on this old friend. Here’s a few pics from the last few weeks.
You author (and Teton Fly Fishing Guide) starting a morning on the Green with a casting lesson. It paid off… We were fortunate to see this amazing site on the drive home from fishing in Yellowstone a few weeks back. This Grizzy bear was feeding just off the road. One of the craziest things I’ve seen (from the safety of the truck!)On a rare day off, Jamie, Lulu and I hiked in to a local lake and caught a few cuttbows and brook trout. Loved how this fellow posed for a few snapshots before swimming off. Funny how you don’t notice the mosquitos bitting when you have a trout on the line. Matt landed this beautiful Yellowstone Cutthroat trout while fishing with me in the Park. He and his wife, Mercy were so much fun to spend the day with and I can’t think of a better way to end a day on the water! Learning to fly fish is hard enough, hooking and landing a fish on your first day out can be a battle. Pam did a great job floating the Snake with me. She hung in there after having numerous fish get off and was rewarded with this awesome Snake River Cutthroat trout! Hope to see her and Dave again!

Fishing’s been pretty good around here lately. I’ve had some great guests and it’s been a pleasure spending time on the water with them fooling fish. Over the past few weeks, many days were spent up in Yellowstone Park on the Firehole River. There, we wade fished for wild rainbow and brown trout while Bison watched from afar. Yesterday I floated Brian and his son in law, Matt, on the upper Green River. The river fished pretty well. Lot of bugs fluttering around and we decided to go with the most fun option- giant dry flies to mimic emerging stoneflies. A few nice fish were landed and many more ate our bugs but got away. Really nice to be on the oars watching big bugs float on top of the water. Fly fishing around here in Jackson Hole is going to continue to improve as more and more waters clear and begin fishing well.
Anna shows off a nice Rainbow trout on the Firehole River in Yellowstone. Fish were eager to eat a soft hackle wet fly.Clint fulfilled a life-long dream by fly fishing Yellowstone. We had a blast! Lots of fish like this brown put on a acrobatic display after being hooked. Of course the scenery wasn’t bad either!Snow in June? Yep. The ladies and I forged ahead and had a great day fishing dry flies and nymphs. Mandy works water on a chilly afternoon after the snow melted. Note the geyser steam rising across the river. Got back on the oars and floated Brian (seen with this nice rainbow) and his son in law, Matt on the Green River. These guys were a blast and managed some nice fish on dry flies.
