Jackson Fishing Travel Tips

By Brian Kevin

  • The Snake River is easily accessible throughout Grand Teton National Park (but less so throughout private property south of the park). Anglers love it for the views, tremendous hatches, and the indigenous Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat.
  • Wade carefully in the fast section of the Gros Ventre River just south of Lower Slide Lake, where the massive rock slide that created the lake also creates a sort of natural tailwater. Find cutthroats and a few rainbows, with good fishing during the significant stonefly hatch in mid-July.
  • Lower Slide Lake itself provides an often overlooked fishery, with sizeable lake trout and cutthroats on a lake small enough for fishing boat use. Find access at the Atherton campground on Gros Ventre Road.
  • Turn up Granite Creek Road, east of Hoback Junction along Highway 189/191, for plenty of good wade-in and float access to Granite Creek, where you’ll find great cutthroat fishing during the mid-June salmon fly hatch. You can cruise up the road to the hot springs for an end-of-the-day soak too.
  • Flat Creek in the National Elk Refuge is an enormously popular stream with easy access from the highway north of Jackson and bountiful hatches all year. There are several closed stretches along this delicate, fly-only area near the National Fish Hatchery. Cast with dry flies, patience, and respect for locals who revere the creek.

  • My spouse and I would like to spend 3-4 days doing day hikes in the Grand Teton/Jackson area, then come back in the evening to a pleasant, peaceful, lodging that is couples-friendly (our nest has just emptied, so we'd like a break from the frenetic "family vacation" crowd). We would be arriving the week after Labor Day. Any suggestions on hiking and lodging?
