Picture this: the cool autumn breeze carries the scent of pine, golden leaves reflect off shimmering waters, and fish ripple the surface, ready to bite. Fall fishing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is more than just a hobby—it’s a chance to connect with nature, unwind, and experience some of the best fishing the West has to offer.
Top Fall Fishing Spots to Explore
Here’s a lineup of the best fishing areas in Jackson Hole to explore this season, from scenic rivers to peaceful lakes.
Snake River
The Snake River is legendary for a good reason. Low water levels and cooler temperatures mean active trout and prime fishing conditions. Head to the South Park section or Wilson Bridge for a rewarding day casting for native cutthroat trout.
Jenny Lake
Nestled at the base of the Tetons, Jenny Lake is a dream spot for anglers. The fall mornings here are perfect for catching lake trout or brook trout close to shore, all while taking in the beauty of the changing leaves.
Flat Creek
Flat Creek isn’t for the faint of heart, but for those up for the challenge, the rewards are worth it. Located within the National Elk Refuge, this tricky stretch is home to wild cutthroat trout and offers a chance to sharpen your fly fishing skills.
Jackson Lake
Jackson Lake offers the thrill of bigger game. As the waters cool, trout rise closer to the surface, giving anglers a chance to reel in some serious lake trout from the shore or a boat.
Hoback River
The Hoback River flows quietly through scenic valleys, offering great fly fishing opportunities in the fall. The slower waters make it easier to spot fish, and brown and rainbow trout are common catches along this relaxing river.
