Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:2 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Jackson

Jackson, Wyoming is a premium trout fishing destination centered around the Snake River and the surrounding Teton and Gros Ventre ranges. The area’s cold, nutrient-rich waters support strong wild trout populations, especially the native Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout that has made Jackson famous. Anglers can choose between big-water float trips, intimate walk-and-wade streams, and high-elevation lakes that stay cool all summer.

Seasonal patterns drive much of the action around Jackson. Spring fishing typically kicks off as low-elevation snowmelt eases and water clarity improves. Before full runoff, nymphing and streamer fishing can be excellent on the Snake, the Gros Ventre, and the Hoback, with trout holding in softer seams and inside bends. During peak runoff, many anglers shift to tailwaters, spring creeks, and lakes such as Jackson Lake and smaller stillwaters in the valley, where lake trout, rainbows, and cutthroat feed along drop-offs.

Summer is prime time for dry-fly fishing. Once the Snake and its tributaries clear, cutthroat rise eagerly to attractor patterns, mayflies, and stoneflies. Wade anglers should work riffle corners, bank pockets, and side channels at first and last light. Float anglers focus on long runs, boulder gardens, and undercut banks, using drift boats or rafts to cover miles of water efficiently. Hopper season in late summer is a standout period; big foam terrestrials tight to the bank often draw explosive strikes.

In fall, cooler nights and stable flows produce some of the most consistent fishing of the year. Brown trout become more aggressive ahead of the spawn, making streamer fishing particularly effective on the Snake, the upper Green, and deeper runs of the Gros Ventre. Match smaller blue-winged olive mayflies and midges on clear, calm days, and switch to larger baitfish patterns when clouds roll in. Lakes fish well in fall too, as lake trout and rainbows cruise shallower structure and rocky points.

Winter fishing around Jackson is a niche but rewarding option. Open sections of the Snake and select spring-influenced creeks can produce steady action with midges and small nymphs, especially during mid-day warmups. Drift your flies slowly through deep, slow pools and soft edges where trout conserve energy. Ice fishing opportunities on nearby lakes can provide bonus action for lake trout, kokanee, and perch when safe ice forms.

Effective techniques and tactics in the Jackson area include:

  • Dry flies: Use bushy attractors, foam hoppers, and stonefly patterns on the Snake and Hoback, focusing on bank seams, foam lines, and shallow riffle tails.
  • Nymphing: Two-fly indicator rigs with stonefly, caddis, and mayfly nymphs produce year-round; adjust weight frequently to keep flies near the bottom in fast runs.
  • Streamers: Swing or strip olive, black, and white baitfish patterns along cutbanks, logjams, and drop-offs in low light or during fall.
  • Lake tactics: On Jackson Lake and regional reservoirs, troll spoons, crankbaits, or streamers along contour lines, or vertical jig around points and humps for lake trout and kokanee.

Pay close attention to water clarity, temperature, and flow; small adjustments in depth, fly size, and drift speed often make the difference in Jackson’s clear, pressured waters. Polarized glasses are essential for spotting holding fish and reading structure, especially when stalking cutthroat in side channels and shallow flats.

The Best Fishing Spots around Jackson

Jackson Lake

Set beneath the Teton Range, Jackson Lake holds lake trout (mackinaw), cutthroat, brown, and lake-dwelling rainbows; trolling and jigging from boats produce in spring and fall, while shore anglers score around inlets and rocky points when baitfish stack, making it a big-water option compared to Jenny Lake or Leigh Lake.

Flat Creek

Winding through the National Elk Refuge on the edge of town, Flat Creek is famed for its large, wary native cutthroat trout; technical dry-fly and sight-fishing dominate late summer into early fall, with glassy spring creeks and undercut banks rewarding stealthy presentations unlike the broader flows of the Snake River.

Fish Creek

Running through Wilson and ranch country west of town, Fish Creek fishes like a classic spring-influenced stream for cutthroat and brown trout; careful approaches, small dries, and nymphs excel in late summer, offering intimate sight-fishing compared to the open drifts on the Snake River.
