Fishing Reports

Here we are mid February 2026 and our snowpack is hanging in there. The upper Green River Basin is now at 93% of normal. We have a pretty good storm settling in as I write this, finally some new snow on the ground this morning, more on the way tonight.  The last few weeks/months have been dry. We are finally seeing some cold and snow… Good thing!

We have been on the river weekly, the guide team has been sniffing out all sorts of good stuff. We are still doing our discounted winter fly fishing trips for $550 per boat. Until April 1. After that, our prices had to increase this year to $825 per boat below the dam and $750 above. The Wyoming legislature passed a bill requiring all guides to register with the game and fish, hopefully this is the beginning to preserve the solitary experience we have here in the Cowboy State.

  Wyo Fish Co daily double 2026

Wyo troutspey clinics

Our winter trout spey trips have been a lot of fun. Geared for beginners to experts! Swinging flies on a winter day is a great way to see the water differently, immersed in solitude. We have available dates before we head to Steelhead Valhala. I have swung up steelhead in every state they live and well versed with all casting styles and their applications. Check out our new trout spey page here!

Wyoming trout spey is our true love!

We are becoming increasingly more excited about our Alaska Steelhead adventure this spring, along with salmon and duck hunting this fall!  We have spots available starting in 2 months, late April! please call (307) 360-3251 for more details/dates

Reel smoking Wild Steelhead

Arctic Grayling are now a trip we can offer! Under Camp GROW, we will be running some grayling trips starting June 1 here locally! If you’ve ever wanted to catch one, we can get you into them! Arctic Grayling are very cool fish, and a MUST for all anglers!

Pray for more snow, we need it! We will have great fishing this year, but August and into September may present more challenges than what we have experienced in the past if we don’t see some epic snowfall soon …In that case, you may consider coming up to Alaska to fish with us this fall instead of Wyoming! Saltwater fishing and eco tours of the incredible paradise we will be operating in. We plan on running guide trips for Silver, Pink, Sockeye salmon, Steelhead, Dolly Varden and sea run cutthroat that eat dry flies. All inclusive packages. Sea Duck Hunting for harlequin and more!!! You’ll eat locally caught saltwater critters and never get sick of it. Can you eat too much halibut and spot prawns in one week??  We are already starting to book 2027 Alaska, still availability this year and next.

Call or text to book! (307) 360-3251

We hope you all are set for a great Thanksgiving Holiday! An arctic cold front is on its way today, bring more snow and cold temps. Current snowpack in the Green River basin is currently low, but winter is long. They are calling for a proper, snowy winter here this year.. good thing, we need one. The last few weeks have been full of ducks, geese, pheasant and trout here at the Wyo Fish Co and our crew. It’s been a ton of fun. We are offering discounted river float trips for 2 until April 1, 2026 again on the Green River below Fontenelle Dam. $550 for the full day float, guide will have rods/flies if needed, anglers must bring their own lunch.

Nice November brown trout!

Wyoming Lake Trout!

We are still chasing trout in the rivers and lakes, but as winter gets closer…our bird hunts get busier. We have been on the divers, puddle ducks and Canadian geese. We are currently operating in 2 different flyways here in the Cowboy State. The first half of the season has produced some great hunts and phenomenal birds. We even got a Longtail diving duck to work into the rig one morning…who is in his way to the taxidermist! We are excited for the late season hunts in both small water and dry fields for geese and ducks to pickup. We have acquired quite a few private properties that hold waterfowl and pheasant. Both of which we are offering on our guided hunts this year. Below are pictures from some of the recent hunts.

A great diving duck hunt last week!

Longtail duck

2025 Wyoming field hunts!!

As bird hunting winds down, we are excited to begin both guided ice fishing trips along with coyote hunting! We love calling in coyotes to closer range on our local, private ranches! They are a ton of fun! Beginners or experts welcome! We provide all tackle and guns needed on these two trips.

Calling Coyotes in Wyoming

2026 fishing and bird hunting trips are booking as well, so let us know if you want to get on the schedule for next year! Prime dates and guides are booking up, call/text us! (307) 360-3251 or (307) 413-7998

Greg’s 27″ fish this week with WFC head guide, Jake Martinez. Longer than his 25″ 10 pounder in 2024. Congrats Greg!

What a busy last few weeks! We are catching our breath and getting ready for the next push of mid fall work, before the winter sets in….

Our guide team has been out doing it all, roping 27″ river fish, chasing double digit lake trout, Geese/Duck hunts, and doing a little elk hunting. Fish are in great shape during this beautiful fall we have.

2025 Wyoming field hunts!!

We have availability in the coming weeks for all trips. Our private field hunts for Geese and ducks have been productive, with limits for all hunters before 10am on our dry field hunts so far. We call these hunts “Little Canada”. Cost for a dry land field hunt is $350 per gun. We have the following dates available: October 20-25, 27-31 & November 1-4, 8-10, 19.

Done by 9 am! 2025 hunt

We will be doing a fair amount of duck hunts over water coming up, out of our 25′ Duckwater Ocean. Diver and puddle duck hunts.

Happy hunters for the 2025 opener. Limited out!

Our waterfowl guides scout before every hunt …we aren’t going to take you to dead water or fields!

Wyoming two hander fish swung up this week…

As winter comes in, it’s time to think about throwing the two handed rod and swinging streamers. We have a few trout spey/switch rod/skagit guide trips coming up as we go into winter locally. Our river is a great place to swing flies. Long beautiful runs, all winter and open water for miles! Winter is a great time to swing flies on a spey rod, can be very productive, and what better activity than getting out of the house on a nice winter day and swinging up some big fish! We provide the spey rods and flies on these trips. Whether you need to button up your D Loop or Snap T, Snake Roll, Single Spey, Perry Poke casts for an upcoming Steelhead trip… OR you just want to learn how to spey cast, we can help with you! WFC guide Ryan Hudson has guided Steelhead and Taimen anglers with spey rods in the last 2 decades, he’d be happy to show you the method, along with some wild stories, Stateside or abroad while chasing fish with a two hander.

2025 AK Chrome

On the Steelhead note, we are doing Ak Steelhead again this April/May, and again in the fall of 2026. Our April/May trips have availability if you want to join in on these trips. Focus is swinging flies, but we’ll nymph em if we have too…. On the May 2025 trip, we swung ALL fish up…none caught under a bobber. It was about as perfect sea run rainbow trip a guy or guide could ask for. After an incredible experience last spring fishing AK steelhead, we have no choice but to return.  Along with steelhead, we will be targeting silvers, halibut, rockfish and SEADUCKS during the fall. Need a Harlequin for the wall? We can help…. Call and ask for Ryan for more info on this next level experience. We will provide the ultimate Cast N Blast one can ask for.

Not a monster, but decent Mack. Nice Chris!

Our lake trips chasing lake trout have been alot of fun lately. Fish are colored up in pre spawn mode. We got a fair amount of Macks over 30″ this weeks. The fishing will heat up in the coming weeks with these fish. Fly fishing or Spin fishing, we are on em and can accommodate up to 4 anglers on these lake trips for Lake trout, trout and night fishing for burbot. Thats right, we guide burbot trips! We even got into some recently. Poor mans lobster, and no limit on them!

Prespawn female, Roped by decade long WFC Patron Greg J. Well done!

Looking into 2026, We are looking forward to Ice Fishing Trips. Won’t be long. Trout, Macks (big and small) and Burbot on the hardware.

2026 summer fishing is booking. Now’s the time to get your dates booked! Call or text (307) 360-3251 to book.

tight, fast loops, no wind knots… and, oh yeah, Hooksets are FREE here at the Wyoming Fishing Company.

Summer is here and moving quickly, flows are dropping and fish are doing what they do, eating big dry flies! This week is all hands on deck, we are running 5+ boats a day right now through this week, thanks to all our return patrons! It’s been so great to see all of you again! We have had some 12-18 year return clients who annually fish with us this week. It’s a pleasure and privilege to have you back for over a decade, year after year. So, thanks again.

We got a nice 24″ brown trout yesterday on a dry fly and turned another one a few minutes later that was much larger than 2′. Fish are in good shape thus far.  We are permitted on the Snake River in Jackson Hole, Wy as well. This will fish well into August if our fishing slows down here on the Green. We have a private ramp on a ranch, right under the Tetons we can launch boats from, as well as wade fish the springs creeks and side Channels of the Snake River that flows through this ranch. This will fish good in August, September and into October. September is a great time to float the Snake, especially if you have a private ramp miles downstream of the rest of the boats putting above us, like us! Cutthroat trout on Streamers and dry flies under the Tetons, come on out and let us show you!

Well done Jimmy!

Fontenelle sections of the Green should be fine, however the freestone around Pinedale maybe getting low this year.  We still plan on fishing the lower freestone into the fall. Which should be great!

We are doing more lake trips for trout, Kokanee salmon and lake trout as well this year. These trips are a great additions to a day on the river. We have a comfy, 25′ boat with all the tools and electronics needed to get into them. Fly fishing or spin fishing. We can take up to 6-7 guests at a time and fish up to 6 rods at one time trolling, 7 anglers if we are jigging with the Garmin Livescope we have on board. Call for more details

20 lb laker, roped by a guest recently. This was one of 3 fish we got over 16 pounds in 1 afternoon….

Bird season is getting close! We have cast n blast trips starting Sept 1 and we have availability if you’d like to get in on the action! New leases, both ducks and geese in the fields. We are very excited.

AK Chrome 5/25

Lastly, we have expanded to Alaska….steelhead, coho and duck hunting. We did a guide stint back in May and it was by far one of the coolest trips we’ve done.  Wild steelhead, all swung up on light or floating lines, two handed/spey casting. We didn’t catch one fish on a bead….we are setting up May 2026, one week is booked, only 2 left… Call us if you think you have what it takes!

Surely you can see it and, this Wyoming Spring-season fishing report is only a supplement to the obvious. The patches of mud and gravel in the driveway where the thick blanket of hard packed snow and ice is swiftly losing its campaign of frozen tyranny against the rebelling Spring season. The days are getting longer, the weather warmer and the equinox is only days away. Soon the triumphant summer sun will arrive to claim its throne in the Western Wyoming sky; however, between now and then, some of the best fishing the Rockies have to offer can be found on the home waters of the WFC. 

If you’ve known our outfit for a while, you can probably imagine what the boys have been up to for the past month. If there’s open water, they’re on it, putting in the oar strokes and soaking up the intel. When you come out for a wild trout hunt, you can do so with peace of mind, knowing that your guide has been putting in the work, and has got the bugs & knowledge to line you out for success.

Speaking of your wild trout hunt, are you on the books yet? Our summer schedule is filling in rapidly but, there’s still a few boats available, sporadically throughout the peak of season. Prior to peak-season however, you might consider coming out for a Spring trip. Our special winter pricing is in effect through the month of March! The boys have been sending it on the early season water and the fishing has been incredible. Ryan, Kurt and Tristan have been running a handful of their regular dudes over the past few weeks and have all reported a steady and consistent eatery. The fish are veracious, hard fighting and very heavy. Call the outfit and get on one of the guy’s boats!

Hardwater

As the lake begins to warm, the fish are beginning to move a bit more and we’re seeing a lot of action under the ice using our LiveScopes and AquaView Cameras. We’re finding the fish to be a bit more selective and a bit of a gap between their feeding windows but, when the bite is on, it’s on chaotically. There’s still a couple weeks of good ice fishing to be had! The boys have been reporting 18”-20” of solid surface on our home lakes and they’ve had a couple productive days as of late. Our local ice guide Erik has been on the hardwater non-stop and he’s getting the late season eat dialed in well. Give Ryan a call and see what he can do to fit you into Erik’s schedule. Additionally, you can get to know Erik and all of our guides on the BIO page. See it here. 

Open Water – Lake Trips

As we roll into the season, with break-up and turnover in the near future, the boys at WFC are readying their lake boats! This is a new venue offering we’ve been working on and, the coming ice-off is going to be a hot time to be here. Throughout the season, the lakes provide. We’re excited to be able to offer this trip. Hunt for big Macs, trophy Trout and Kokanee from the comfort of our large watercraft. We’re sad to see the hardwater season coming to an end but, we are VERY excited for the coming open water. Call the outfit and book your lake trip today! 

Jackson Hole

We’re headed north! We have secured permitting to guide the Snake River and we are currently booking Spring trips, with many of our regulars already booked through April! This trip is an iconic one, as it winds through some of the most scenic wildland, with the intent of targeting pure fine spotted Cuttys in their native drainage – as they eat big bugs on the surface. This is genuine fly fishing in its most nostalgically poetic form and, it comes with an attribute of utility as well! If your ambitions are to complete the Cutt-Slam this year, a Spring trip on the Snake would be a great start! (And if you need a little help rounding up the hardest of the four species to find, drop us a line. We’ve got the drop on Bonnies). Learn more about the Wyoming Cutt-Slam here. We’ll be running these trips in the Spring, as well as the Fall. Stay tuned for more details, as they develop. 

Finally

Snowpack is over 100% which, considering the few storm fronts we’ve seen this year, is something to be grateful for. See the data here. This should lead to a lasting flow throughout the basin so, thank a water development worker the next time you see them! 

If you’re not a resident of Wyoming here’s a reminder to be sure to grab your fishing license before you head out to meet your guide! There’s very little cellular service in the wild places we fish and, even fewer accommodations. Your best bet is to grab a license on the WG&F’s online portal. Find it here. 

Lastly, to all our patrons – new and old – thanks so much for your continued support. We LOVE what we do and who we do it for. We’re looking forward to seeing you all in the coming days! 

If you have any questions or want to schedule a day on the water, the number to dial is 307-360-3251

2025 is off to a great start here at the Wyo Fish Co, starting out 12th year in operation. We keep growing! We are ice fishing, river fishing and daydreaming about Summer fishing. Our snowpack is currently over 100% in the Green River drainage, we certainly could use more snow, but we have good layers up high that should last longer that the previous years’ runoff.

Solid rainbow from the last week in Feb 2025

“Poor man’s lobster” the Burbot.

The ice fishing has been fun, but tricky lately. We have gotten burbot, whitefish and trout through the ice, along with trout and whitefish in the rivers. Fish are in great shape this year and will only get bigger.

We are excited to offer guided fishing trips on the Snake River in Jackson, Wyoming this year. We have acquired the permitting to allow us to legally guide this river in Teton County, Wyoming. We have acquired some incredible private walk wade and river boat launches! Our access gets us in the river miles below everyone else putting in. We begin guiding the Snake River next week, along with our usual program in our home drainage. The Snake River in Jackson fishes great pre-runoff and Late July-September.  This is a Snake River Finespotted Cutthroat trout fishery, in their native habitat under the Teton Mountains in the famous, Jackson Hole.

River trips have been productive so far. Kurt had a good trip over the weekend, I (Ryan) had a good day last week. Seeing more fish hit the next over 20″ than under it seems.

2025 is booking up nicely, we hired more guides to elevate the workload and give us more flexibility. If you haven’t gotten your dates booked, nows the time!

On a separate note, the Wyoming Legislature has moved a guide regulation bill further into the legislative session. We still don’t know what will happen, but we need something to be done. We have testified during this years’ legislative session. Too much gov’t is a bad thing, but not enough makes it chaos. We are at the chaos part.

Guide Tristan with a toad roped and happy angler

This upcoming weekend looks great for fly fishing on the river. We have guides available in both Jackson, Wyoming and the Green River. $500 for the full day float, that’s $200-$300 discount!  Skiing is done, lets go!

Lastly, our Alaska steelhead fishing/seaduck hunting operation has begun and I’ll be headed there in May to guide steelhead. Are you interested in shooting Harlequin, Scoter or other coveted ducks or catching the last, greatest, undisturbed runs of steelhead in North America? Drop us a line!
