Guided Fly Fishing on the New Fork River
Calm Water, Big Fish
Wyoming's Hidden Trophy Water

Trophy Trout Trips
Chase the fish of a lifetime on a full-day trophy trout adventure designed for experienced anglers. Target large, hard-fighting trout in some of the region’s most productive waters, guided by experts who know where the big fish are. This is a rewarding, high-skill experience for those ready to step up their game.
Clear Spring Creek Water
The New Fork is known for clear, steady flows that create excellent visibility and consistent fishing conditions. Anglers who enjoy reading water and making thoughtful presentations appreciate how approachable the river feels. Its clarity rewards good technique while still offering opportunities for anglers building confidence. With guidance from Jackson Hole Anglers, you’ll learn how to adapt your approach to these productive waters.
Wild Brown, Rainbow & Cutthroat
The New Fork holds wild trout that make every hook-up memorable and earned. Anglers can expect opportunities for brown trout and cutthroat in classic Wyoming settings. This mix of species keeps the day engaging, whether you’re chasing steady action or hoping for a standout fish. Our guides help you understand the water and adjust techniques to match conditions throughout the day.
Open Ranch Country
The New Fork fishes nothing like the Snake. Trade canyon walls and whitewater for wide open ranch land, meandering bends, and a quieter kind of float. If you've spent years fishing the rivers around Jackson, this is what it feels like to find something new.
Proven Fly Fishing Techniques on the New Fork River
Every day on the New Fork is shaped by water conditions and trout behavior. Your guide adjusts techniques to match what the river is giving us.
Technical Dry Fly
When trout rise consistently, precise dry fly presentations become the highlight of the day. Anglers who enjoy visual takes and careful casting will appreciate this technical style of fishing. Clear water demands attention to drift and placement, making each success feel earned. Our guides provide instruction and on-the-water feedback to help you improve while staying relaxed and focused.
Precision Nymphing
Nymphing can be an effective way to reach fish holding deeper in the current. This approach suits anglers who enjoy dialing in depth and drift to match conditions. It adds consistency when surface activity slows and keeps the day productive. With hands-on coaching, you’ll learn how to adjust rigs and presentations for steady results on the New Fork.
Trophy Streamer Tactics
Streamer fishing brings energy and anticipation to the day, especially for anglers targeting larger trout. This style involves covering water methodically and presenting flies with intention. It’s best suited for anglers comfortable casting throughout the day. If you’re specifically interested in pursuing bigger fish, explore our dedicated trophy trout trips for a more focused experience.
