Fishing Reports
Water, temps and fishing is GOOD!
After a spell of some warm water, we look to be in good shape as we arrive to August here on the upper Green River Basin. We have maintained good water temps throughout the upper reaches and have zero fish fatalities . Our guide team has produced some incredible fish this summer…. quite a few fish on dry flies over 24′. Which is nothing new, but seems like more of them this year. thank you to all who have visited and to all who are coming back this fall! 2027 Wyoming is booking as well, so If you need to get on the schedule, now is the time.
Congrats Jack and Kurt! True trophy!
We are seeing 64-66 as daily high water temperature and great fish quality. As I’ve said all summer, these water temps are cooler than last season. Quite the surprise we got regarding sufficient water flows and safe water for trout to be caught in. As we see the temperature slope down, both water and air, we look forward to continue our grind into fall. Below is a recent temp comparison from 2025 and 2026. As you can see by the Grey line, the Snake in Jackson is warmer, yet we are still pretty cool and cooler than last year. No wonder the fish have been kicking ass!!

Fall goose and ducks hunts are just around the corner, we have available spots for the Sept 1 – 9 nuisance goose season, as well as 9/27. We have both field and big/small water hunts available. Fall fishing bookings are picking up we come to pre Kokanee salmon time. These red firetrucks make their way up the rivers here soon and collect many hungry trout as they migrate. Salmon fishing was great on the lakes this year, one could assume we will have another healthy run of fish yet again
2026 Duck opener spots available! Always fun & productive!
.2027 Alaska Steelhead, salmon (fresh/salt), halibut, sandhill crane and sea duck hunts are booking as well, roughly half of our 2027 is booked for up there. Call for more details, these trips sell FAST! Our 2026 season in Alaska is booked. Good first year…Our guide, Kurt is up there now enjoying some Kings on heavy tackle as we speak!
Summer 2026 – great water and fishing
We are finding ourselves in an ideal scenario currently with a very positive outlook. Flows remain around 1000 cfs, and more rain/cooler temps coming staring tomorrow, July 15. Fishing has been great, as the classic dry fly scene has illustrated why this is the last greatest place to fish in the American West. We haven’t seen huge river traffic days, less than last year even, yet the fish quality remains premium. Many fish around or over the 23″ mark on dry flies hitting the net, daily among our guide team. Most days, I’m personally not even seeing a boat…but that’s just me, as I’m chasing the most solitude a guy can get, which is often around these parts.
Derek and a beauty
Drakes, PMD’s, sallies, Cicada, Golden stones and more are doing their thing and will continue as we get into hopper/terrestrial and smaller mayfly/caddis time frame. Streamer fishing remains superb and will be really good in the coming week, as we expect the monsoon to arrive. Starting July 17, we open back up with guide availability into late next week. Prime time cool down will ensure terrific dry fly and streamer conditions. If you have the itch, it’s not too late, it’s about to get damn good. Stripping the streamer or big bug surface fishing is on its way back after this hot spell. Kokanee salmon and big laker fishing has been good also.
Great Brown Roped in Jax’s boat!
More Tanks, roped by the WFC guide team, way to go Kurt!
We have discounted Alaska trips available as well for the August- October 2026 season as well, targeting salmon, sea run cutthroat, Dolly Varden and maybe a spot for steelhead. Our spawn company, WYAK Outfitters is a licensed, permitted and insured Alaska sport fishing business and currently booking as far as 2028

May 2026 Guide Fishing Report
Here we are in the middle of May, sunny and 65 degrees
2 days ago, snow on the ground this morning. We’ll gladly take the precipitation!
Fishing has been pretty solid for the boys. Seeing a good number of fish around the 23-24″ mark daily, sometimes multiple in a day, same boat! Our river illustrates why is the best….no quality like it. We have been getting into quite a few fish on midges, leeches and the biggest streamer you can huck! 5-10+” long heavily weighted and articulated patterns have been moving a ton of fish lately! Nothing like watching them eat the big meal!
Wild Alaska Steelhead on the Spey Rod 2026
We officially wrapped up the Alaska trip, setting up a spawn of this organization in a place no to be mentioned somewhere in Alaska. We did steelhead last month, and will be returning in July for sockeye, silvers in August/September, with bi catches of sea run cutthroat and Dolly Varden. We will be running guided duck hunts as well, targeting the Harlequin, red breasted merganser, goldeneye, and all 3 species of scoter! Saltwater fishing charters for halibut and more, along with wildlife tours in our comfortable 26′ live aboard! Come see what’s got us all hot and bothered. We have limited availability for Alaska guided fishing trips this year. Call or text us for details and dates! Booking 2027 Alaska Steelhead now!
We are looking forward to the fishing turning to really good here shortly! June will fish fantastic with dry flies. If you want a chance to catch a wild, 20-25″ fish on a dry fly, this is your chance! No guarantees, but June is always great! and July is…well, you know, Dry Fly Valhala!
As always, the team of men here at the Wyo Fish Co is ready to show you a great time here in Wyoming fishing! Call or text to book! (307) 360-3251

WFC Hosted Trip – Brazil
Adventure deep into the Amazon Rainforest with WFC guide Kurt this September! He’s hosting a trip into the jungle to hunt gigantic, hard fighting, warmwater predators in a region that has been closed under conservation ordnances for nearly three decades, with Angling Frontiers. As some of you remember, I hosted a trip with these guys for Bolivian Dorado back in 2019. The owner of Angling Frontiers, Patrick Teandler is a Bolivian national and a great person and friend of mine. He took great care of us when we visited years ago, and we are excited to send some folks to him this year. These fish are larger here than anywhere else in the Xingu Basin and they are entirely unfamiliar to human presence. Though this trip is set in one of the most remote locations on earth, it’s not without luxury accommodations; with a 5-star lodge and an onsite team of chefs to prepare each meal. Sight fish to Surubi (Tiger Striped Catfish), Giant Wolf Fish, Peacock Bass and, Payara while jaguars and other local wildlife roam in the trees above you on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

March Madness!
March is here, along with the wind and a record month for guide trips this months. We are nearing 40 scheduled trips this month…must be doing something right! None of which are on the Big Horn, shameful how all the guides flock there in the spring. We send all our trips to LOCAL outfits in Thermopolis, we are better than that. Just to clarify the rumors. If you’re looking for a great experience over there, call John Schwalbe of Wyoming Adventures or Chris Ryan of Big Horn Guide Service. They’ll take the best care of you money can buy on the Horn!
March browns
Snowpack is about 94-95% here on the upper Green River Basin. Not ideal, but better than most drainages across the American Rockies. I expect the fishing to remain good all summer, with some dog days mid August through mid September. Our current guide trips have been going great, fish are eating the same stuff…streamers and nymphs. We even had some dry fly fishing recently. Fancy that!?! Winter Stones and midges have been on the move, the fish have been after them. Rainbows will be spawning soon…so be on the lookout it you’re considerate of the resources and don’t need to inflate your ego. Anybody can catch a spawner… no challenge there. If you bang beds, shame on you. You’re probably stepping on the eggs anyhow. So do us all a favor and let the spawners be. Thanks!
Our 2026 Wyo Fish Co American Veteran’s Fishing trip, featuring WFC guide and veteran, Erik Crooks is full with 10 Vets, 5 guide boats! These trips are free to any American Veteran who signed up in time. We are so privileged to have these brave men come spend a day with us. If you’re an American Vet, please inquire about upcoming sponsored Veteran fishing and hunting trips we have to offer. Thank you for your service!!!!
Congrats Chris on his first fish on the Spey Rod – March 2026
Along with the guided float trips, we have been having fun swinging flies on two handed / spey rods on guided trips as well. Beginner to expert, we can take you out and find some fish to swing up!

What’s this whitestuff?!
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.

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.

2026 Wyoming snowpack & fishing report
We are starting off 2026 with 104-105% of normal snowpack here in the Green River basin. Upper Green River basin appears to be in the best shape across Wyo with a 115% snowpack. Good deal, now we need another storm to arrive, pronto before we dip below 100%. Our snow is currently wet, along with our ground. Last fall was wet and the ground got saturated with rain/snowmelt. So, I do believe in we are in pretty good shape at the moment. Winter is young yet and we have two treacherous wintery months ahead. 10 day forecast for Daniel, Wyoming is dry and cold. We have snow on the upper river and dry conditions down below the dam.
winter fly fishing wy
Fishing remains consistent in our river, moss is minimal after the accidental bump of 3000cfs back in November. So if you notice debris in the trees like a flood just happened, there’s why. We are getting out when the weather is nice… we did a rowing clinic and river float trip lately with more coming. Weather looks good into next week for anyone who needs some river therapy in a WFC guide boat! As usual, we are doing the this counted winter fly fishing special until April 1, $550 for a full day float trip (1-2 anglers), streamers…nymphing and maybe some dry fly fishing.
Wyoming passed a guide bill in 2025, requiring all fishing guides to register their guide boats. Click here if you need to register your boat. We hope these new regulations will preserve the solitary experience we have here in Wyoming and prevent our water from being further populated by fly by night guide operations.
Late season Wyoming Mallards with a great crew!
The 2025/26 waterfowl season is finally over. What a long grind! We had our ups and downs this year with the unseasonably warm temps, but it ended up great. We finished it off with two outstanding days of shooting mallards and more! Now booking 2026/27 Wyoming and Alaska duck hunting. Call or text for more info!

Fins and Feathers
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!

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

Fall Fishing & Wingshooting
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 Time!
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!
