Guided Fly Fishing on the Green River
Wild Trout in Wild Country
Big Fish in a Small River
The Green River is home to some of the largest trout in the area. Just over an hours drive from Jackson, the Green offers beautiful western scenery, plentiful wildlife, and some of the best fishing on the planet.
Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Cutthroat Trout all call the Green River home. Some of them getting up to 25-30 inches! The Green is a small, intimate river, but still best fished by drift boat.
The season on the Green tends to be fairly short, from roughly April-August.

River Overview
The Green River flows through open ranch land tucked between Wyoming's mountain ranges, setting the tone for a relaxed yet focused day of fishing. Anglers spend the day floating productive stretches, casting to seams, banks, and riffles where trout naturally feed. This river suits guests who want a balance of exciting fishing and quiet space, and it fits seamlessly into a full day guided experience from Jackson Hole Anglers.
Wild Trout Species
The Green River holds Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Cutthroat Trout, with some fish reaching 25 to 30 inches. It's a small, intimate river where thoughtful presentations and focused technique consistently reward anglers of all experience levels. Whether you're new to fly fishing or have years on the water, the variety and quality of fish here keeps the day engaging and satisfying.
Open Ranch Land and Mountain Views
Floating the Green means drifting through wide open ranchland framed by Wyoming's mountain ranges, not canyon walls. The setting is spacious and unhurried, giving the day a distinctly Western feel. It's perfect for couples, families, and groups who want beautiful surroundings as much as consistent trout action.

Gear and Flies
All necessary equipment is provided, including fly rods, reels, flies, boats, and lifejackets. Full day trips also include lunch, snacks, and drinks, while half day trips include beverages and everything you need to fish comfortably. This setup works well for beginners who don’t own gear and for experienced anglers who prefer traveling light.
Drift Boat Experience
Most days are spent floating and fishing from the boat, with stops along the bank when conditions call for it. Each boat holds two anglers plus a guide, creating a private, focused environment.
