Proven on the Water: One Fly Guide Championship Winners
There’s a difference between calling yourself a great guide and proving it when it counts.
The Jackson Hole One Fly is one of the most respected fly fishing competitions in the West. Each year, 80 professional guides compete regionally, all fishing under the same pressure, the same conditions, and the same rule: one fly per angler. No second chances. No adjustments. Just skill, instinct, and execution.
It’s where experience shows. And where the best separate themselves.
Jackson Hole Anglers guides have taken top honors in this competition multiple times, with wins in 2012, 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2025.
That matters for one reason. When you step onto the water, you’re not learning from someone who just knows the river. You’re fishing with someone who has been tested against the best, and come out on top. This is the level of guide you trust when the day matters.
Decades on Local River
Our guides have spent decades reading currents, understanding seasonal patterns, and learning how trout behave on the Snake, Green, and Salt Rivers. That experience helps anglers of every level feel steady and prepared, whether it’s your first cast or your hundredth day on the water.
Licensed Wyoming Outfitters
Jackson Hole Anglers holds permits and licenses to guide across some of the most sought-after waters in the region, including Yellowstone National Park, Bridger-Teton National Forest, and Teton County. That access doesn't come easy — it means our operation meets the standards required by each of those land management agencies. We're also a proud partner of the Snake River Fund, supporting the conservation of the waters we fish every day.
Greater Yellowstone Expertise
The rivers that flow through the Greater Yellowstone region are diverse, technical, and unforgettable. From Yellowstone National Park waters to Flat Creek and the New Fork River, our team understands how each fishery fishes differently. That regional perspective helps you experience more than just a stretch of river, you experience the character of each destination.
Guiding Philosophies
Great Fishermen vs. Great Fishing Guides
It would be easy for us to say that fishing is a passion for us here at Jackson Hole Anglers. And while it is true that fishing is a passion for us, what sets us apart from other outfitters in the area is our true love: Guiding. You might ask what's the difference between being a great fisherman and being a great guide. The difference is huge. Our guides are great fishermen. They all know the intricacies of trout habitat, diets, and behavior. They understand river ecology and hydrology. They are expert fly casters, and extremely knowledgeable in entomology and the flies that imitate the bugs. All of that and more goes into being a great fisherman. What sets us apart is our love for guiding.
A guide is a person who takes an individuals raw ability and molds it into skill. A guide takes you farther and teaches you more than you are able to do on your own. A guide will pay constant attention to the safety, comfort, and enjoyment of your day. We love to do this. We love teaching people new things, showing them a different way. Whether it is showing a person who has never fished before how to cast a fly rod, or showing a seasoned angler a more efficient way to mend their line. We get a kick out of it all.
Catch & Release
People often ask us if they can keep the fish they catch. Typically folks are used to going down to their local stream, catching a few trout, bringing them home and frying them up for dinner. This is a great tradition. One that has been going on for millennia. In recent years, our population has grown to a point where our natural resources are not capable of sustaining our desires. Many rivers have been over-fished and polluted to a point where they no longer hold wild trout. These rivers are now stocked with trout that are subsequently harvested by fishermen.
Fortunately, that is not the case here in the Jackson Hole area. Because of the forward thinking of our local fishermen and state game and fish department, our rivers sustain a healthy population of wild trout! We do not have to stock our rivers around here to provide great fishing. One of the ways we maintain healthy natural trout populations is by practicing catch and release. There is a lot of fishing pressure on the Snake and Green Rivers and their tributaries. Guided fishing trips account for a large percentage of this pressure. If every guided trip allowed their guests to keep just one fish, our wild trout population would be depleted in no time.
Because of this, all of our trips practice catch & release. We ask that you enjoy your experience to the fullest. Marvel at the fantastic scenery, gaze at the Bald Eagles, learn new skills, catch lots of fish, take lots of pictures. Please leave this wonderful river the same or better than you found it.
What Makes Our Guided Fishing Trips Different
The right guide changes everything. As a small, family-run operation, we focus on creating days that feel personal, flexible, and tailored to you rather than following a rigid formula. We take pride in great customer service and the kind of attention that larger outfitters simply can't offer.
Patient Professional Instruction
Clear instruction builds confidence quickly. Our guides take time to explain techniques, adjust your approach, and answer questions without rushing the experience. Whether you’re refining a cast or learning something entirely new, the focus stays on helping you enjoy the process while steadily improving on the water.
All Skill Levels Welcome
Some guests arrive with years of fly fishing behind them, others are holding a rod for the first time. Our trips are structured to meet you where you are, offering as much guidance or independence as you prefer. That flexibility makes each outing feel comfortable, whether you’re seeking steady action or a focused, technical challenge.
Safety Comes First
River days are meant to feel calm and rewarding, not uncertain. Our guides prioritize safe boat handling, thoughtful positioning, and clear communication throughout your trip. That steady attention to safety allows you to focus fully on the rhythm of casting and the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Conservation-Focused Practices
Healthy fisheries don’t happen by accident. Our team approaches each outing with respect for the rivers and trout that make this region special. Responsible handling and thoughtful practices help preserve these waters for future anglers, allowing you to participate in an experience that values sustainability as much as success.
