Frequently asked questions
Booking & logistics
How do I book a trip?
Most trips are booked over the phone. Call (307) 699-9659 and we'll work out the right water, dates and guide for your group. You can also send a note through the form on this page and we'll reply within a day, or book online.
How far in advance should I book?
It depends on the trip. July and August dates on the Snake River regularly fill by January, so we recommend booking 6–8 months out for peak season. Prime June and July dates on Yellowstone Lake sell out months in advance. For the spring White Water Snake trip (April–June), book at least 4–6 weeks ahead; for fall Trophy Trout dates (September–October), at least 6–8 weeks ahead.
Where do we meet?
Meeting points vary by trip. Snake River floats meet at South Park Landing, Salt River trips near Alpine, and White Water Snake trips at Hoback Junction. Trophy Trout and Yellowstone trips leave from Jackson with transport provided. Your guide confirms the exact location and time before your trip. Our shop is at 1400 S Highway 89, Jackson, WY 83001.
What are your shop hours?
Peak season runs May 1 to October 31, and the shop is open 6:00 am to 8:00 pm daily. From November 1 to April 30 we're open by appointment only.
How many anglers go in each boat?
Two anglers per drift boat on the Snake River, White Water Snake, Salt River and Trophy Trout trips. The Yellowstone Experience takes up to three per guide. Larger groups fish across more than one boat; call us to plan it.
Beginners & families
Do I need fly fishing experience?
Not for the Snake River half-day float. Our guides specialize in working with beginners and cover casting, reading water and presentation. Full-day Snake River trips suit motivated beginners. The Salt River is more technical but a good place to build casting accuracy. Trophy Trout and White Water Snake trips are best for intermediate to advanced anglers.
Are your trips good for kids?
Yes. The Yellowstone Experience is one of our most popular family trips: the power boat gives a stable platform and the scenery keeps everyone engaged. Our casting lessons have no age limit and we adapt the teaching to young beginners. Call us and we'll match the trip to your family.
Do you offer casting lessons?
Yes. Lessons run about 2–3 hours, suit all skill levels, and include all gear. They cover the cast, knots and the fundamentals guides use every day. Many guests pair a morning lesson with an afternoon float on the Snake River; ask us about combinations.
Rivers & seasons
What waters do you guide?
Five trips across Wyoming's best water: the Snake River Float through Bridger-Teton National Forest; the White Water Snake, a spring canyon trip from April to June; the Salt River near Alpine; Trophy Trout on the Green and New Fork rivers below the Wind River Range; and the Yellowstone Experience on Yellowstone Lake, where we hold one of only ten National Park Service motorized boat permits.
Do you guide inside Grand Teton National Park?
No. Teton Troutfitters does not hold a permit to guide inside Grand Teton National Park. Our Snake River floats run the Wilson-to-Alpine corridor through Bridger-Teton National Forest, south of the park boundary. For fishing inside a national park, see our Yellowstone Experience.
When is the fishing season?
Our peak season runs May through October. The White Water Snake runs in the spring runoff window, April to June. Yellowstone Lake depends on ice-off, with prime dates in June and July. September and October are the best months for trophy brown trout on the Green and New Fork.
What fish will I catch?
On the Snake River, native Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout. The Salt River holds brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout. Trophy Trout trips target big brown and rainbow trout. Yellowstone Lake is home to native Yellowstone cutthroat.
Is it catch-and-release?
Yes, we practice catch-and-release. In Yellowstone National Park, all native fish must be returned to the water, and park rules allow, and in some waters require, anglers to keep non-native fish such as lake trout. Your guide handles the rules on the day.
Gear, licenses & what to bring
What's included in a guided trip?
Your guide, flies, rods, reels, leaders, tippet and all terminal tackle. Waders and wading boots are available if you need them. Lunch is included on full-day trips. Fishing licenses and gratuity are not included.
Do I need a fishing license?
For Wyoming waters, yes: a Wyoming fishing license, which is not included in the trip price. We'll walk you through buying one online from Wyoming Game and Fish. Yellowstone National Park requires its own park fishing permit, separate from the Wyoming license; we can help you get it before your trip.
What should I wear and bring?
Polarized sunglasses, a brimmed hat, sunscreen and layers. Mornings can be cold even in July and afternoons on the water get hot. Bring a moisture-wicking base layer and a packable rain shell, even in midsummer. Skip cotton next to your skin.

Who are your guides?
