The post Pinedale Wyoming Fishing Guides – Upper Green River appeared first on Reel Deal Anglers.

The juvenile trout populations in the regional waters are abundant, which is explained in the quote below;

The following quote is from the Wyoming Game and Fish Supervisor Mr. Rob Gibson:

“The high runoff from 2011 has resulted in a very strong year-class of fish. The high water makes more spawning habitat available and improves the quality of spawning gravel by removing silt. Population estimates on several of the larger rivers in the valley were higher than in recent years. Fishing will continue to get better as these fish get larger in size.” Reel Deal Anglers is super excited about this news and hope you come experience some great guided fishing this season with our professional guides.

The Snake River and most of the regional waters are now in full runoff mode and will be for awhile. However, Reel Deal Anglers still has quality water to guide on; we’re guiding on the Upper Green River and the New Fork as well.

The post Jackson Hole Fishing Report – Snake River appeared first on Reel Deal Anglers.

With the recent spring snowstorms our snow pack is now “normal” for a 30 year average. This means we’re anticipating a solid runoff, which will flush the rivers and make for another great fishing season. The Upper Snake reservoir system is currently 77% full and we anticipate having holdover water in the dams. We are currently guiding on the Snake and Green Rivers and plan to continue to do so until runoff, which we’re guessing will hit about mid May, based on the current forecast. The Snake is fishing extremely well currently on Blue Wings, little black stoneflys and a few skwallas. We saw an incredible amount of big fish eating dries all afternoon today.The Green River is also fishing well on Blue Wings and streamers. Please continue to check in with our latest Jackson Hole Fishing Report. Enjoy the fishing before the runoff!

We’ve been guiding below the Fontenelle Reservoir on the Green River in Wyoming to the Seedskadee boundary for the past few weeks and the fishing has been superb on nymphs and streamers for the most part. On the warmer afternoons the Blue Wings are trying to get going but the air and water temps need to increase a few degrees. The best action has been in the afternoons. The scuds are thick and the fish are keying in on them. The fish are in the deeper runs stacked under the foam lines.

The nymph rig with the most success has been is #12 Prince Nymph for the point fly and the trailing fly is a Allen Bros #16 super scud tied 18″ below the point fly. The leader is a 3x 9 foot floro and the same for the tippet. We’ve been using a BB spilt shot 8″ above the point fly and a indicator at the top of the leader.

Streamer patterns: #4 olive sculpin zilla or a dirty martini using a 250 grain sinking line with some split shot about 12″ above the fly.

Spring Time Cuttie

Reel Deal Anglers Guided Fishing Trips on the  Snake River in Jackson Hole Wyoming this spring has been very productive and it’s getting better every day. With the temperatures warming up more and more fish are eating bugs on the surface. This beautiful cuttie was caught on a small dry midge imitation.

My friend Todd and I met Rhett on the Green River for three days of fishing and camping in March 2013. This is my second time fishing with Rhett and again an incredible experience. We drifted and waded and caught a lot of trout, including a 24” 10Lb lunker for my friend who had only fly fished several times prior. Rhett is a professional in all aspects of the word and a great camp companion as well. He made us better casters, reads the water like a good book and made this week one of the best fishing experiences I have ever had. Highly recommend Rhett and Reel Deal Anglers to anyone who is in the Jackson Wyoming Area and wants to fly fish

3/23/13 Snowpack for Wyoming

With last week’s snow our snowpack is increasing again which will make for another great season for Jackson Hole Fishing!

The post Jackson Hole Fishing – Current WY Snowpack Conditions On The Increase appeared first on Reel Deal Anglers.

Reel Deal Anglers had several boats out floating with clients on the Snake River yesterday and the fishing just keeps getting better every day. As the temperatures continue to increase the trout are becoming more active every day! We saw a few trout eating midges on the surface but, the nymphing with pheasant tails and hare’s ears are by far the most productive flies. With next weeks forecast in the mid 40′s the action should continue to get even better! Come ski the mornings at www.jacksonhole.com and fish the afternoons from our private access, which is 5 minutes from the base of the tram. In addition to the Snake River Cutthroat Trout our guests enjoyed seeing Moose, Trumpeter Swans, Bald Eagles and 0 other humans!

Despite the automatic sequestration, there will be little to no immediate impact on visitors planning their summer vacation to Wyoming. As a unified tourism industry, it is important that we communicate a clear, concise and positive message to our guests and potential visitors. Remember together we can minimize the fall-out caused by negative media attention.

We will provide updates as they become available at www.wyomingofficeoftourism.gov.

This is what we know today:

All national parks, monuments, forests and national recreational areas in Wyoming will be open this summer. Some areas may delay opening or provide reduced visitor services; however, these national attractions will be open to the public. Visit www.nps.gov for more information.

People are inspired by our scenic vistas, wildlife and recreational opportunities which are abundant throughout the state and accessible for everyone’s enjoyment.

Park officials are doing their best to minimize impacts by reducing programs and services that have less impact on visitor and employee safety to the extent possible.

Xanterra Parks & Resorts inside Yellowstone National Park plans to open for the summer season as scheduled. Visit www.YellowstoneNationalParkLodges.com for lodging and activity information.

Grand Teton Lodge Company and Signal Mountain Lodge inside Grand Teton National Park plan to open for the summer season as scheduled. Visit www.gtlc.com and www.signalmountainlodge.com for lodging and activity information.

Devils Tower National Monument is open year-round and will continue to operate their visitor center throughout the summer. More information can be found at www.nps.gov/deto

Wyoming’s National Forests will remain open but may operate with reduced visitor centers, campsites and back country access. Visit the individual websites for more information:
Bighorn National Forest
Bridger-Teton National Forest
Medicine Bow National Forest
Shoshone National Forest
Thunder Basin National Grassland

The gateway cities of Jackson and Cody are open for business year-round and are eager to greet visitors this spring and summer.

When people talk about their trips to Wyoming’s national parks, they tell us it’s something their families have done for generations. It’s where memories have been made and then shared with those closest to them. Remember this when talking with guests. Stay positive and upbeat – everyone deserves to have a worry-free vacation.
