About flyfishstarvalley

The Snake River is one of the most iconic fly fishing destinations in the United States. Flowing through the breathtaking landscapes of Jackson Hole and the Teton Range, the Snake River offers anglers a chance to catch the famed Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout in one of the most stunning settings imaginable. The river is characterized by its braided channels, riffles, and deep pools, providing diverse fishing opportunities. Anglers can enjoy excellent dry fly fishing, particularly during the prolific summer hatches. Terrestrials, such as grasshoppers and ants, are also highly effective during late summer. The Snake River is fishable year-round, but the best fishing occurs from late spring (post-runoff) through early fall. The river’s dynamic flow and changing conditions make each fishing trip a unique adventure. Fall brings a spectacular display of foliage, enhancing the beauty of the fishing experience. Access to the Snake River is relatively easy, with numerous public access points and boat ramps along its length. Floating the river is a popular and effective way to cover more water and reach otherwise inaccessible spots. The Snake is a short drive from Star Valley and fishing can be excellent throughout the Snake River Canyon, by Jackson Hole, and into Teton National Park. The famous South Fork of the Snake is also just an hour drive from Afton. This famed tailwater fishery is best accessed via drift boat and is known for it’s large hatches of big flies. The South Fork flows from Palisades Reservoir, down to where it converges with other tributaries in southeast Idaho. Other Nearby Waters Within a few hours drive from Star Valley, there are a number of streams and lakes to fish, including many lakes in the Teton Wilderness and Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming’s rugged and remote Wind Rivers, the headwaters of the Green River, Hams Fork, Piney Creeks, Smith’s Fork of the Bear River, and others.
