Fly fishing Jackson Hole
When you are fly fishing Jackson Hole you are fishing the
Snake River for wild cutthroat. Well, there are other places
to fish and other fish to catch, but it's the wild cutthroat
that brings me back here over and over again.
Fly fishing Jackson Hole for the aggressive cutthroat
Fly fishing Jackson Hole is a lot different from fly fishing
many other rivers. Because of the relatively short growing
period, the cutthroats are aggressive and will rise to the fly
more than usual. They are not so picky about the species of
food either.
Make the fly move when fly fishing Jackson Hole
I've found that a moving fly seems to attract the trout more
than the typical dead drifting one. Perhaps because the hatches
are a lively bunch, darting and skipping across the water.
Cutthroats generally lie in large, deep pools. There are
many predators looking for a tasty trout dinner, so it makes
sense that the fish will stay in deep cover as much as possible.
Fly fishing Jackson Hole's fast waters
When fly fishing Jackson Hole you need to remember that the
rivers are fast flowing. You don't often see fish rising so
it makes sense to use an attractor pattern when dry fly
fishing. Try all those places where trout normally hold. Your
fly needs to be right in the zone.
Using streamers when fly fishing Jackson Hole
When the temperature of the river is low, try fly fishing
Jackson Hole with a streamer. Slow and deep during the cool
water period, but when the water is warmer and the fish are
feeding, they'll take a streamer that's on the surface or
only a couple of inches below.
Fly fishing Jackson Hole with nymphs
You can use nymphs when fly fishing Jackson Hole with the
dead drift usually used in other places, but try making the
nymph move too. Aggressive cutthroats find it hard to resist
any moving fly.
If you have never tried fly fishing Jackson Hole, you might
like to take advantage of the many guides services that are
available. Both beginning and more experienced anglers can
learn a lot from taking one of these guided trips.
