Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:25 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.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Jackson

Fishing in Jackson, Wyoming centers on the Snake River and its tributaries, along with Jackson Lake, Jenny Lake, and a network of meadow streams and alpine creeks. The area is best known for its native Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout, which thrive in the main river and side channels, but anglers also find rainbow, brown, brook, and lake trout in stillwaters and tailwaters nearby.

Seasonal patterns drive success around Jackson. In early spring, before full runoff, the Snake River below Jackson often fishes well with nymphs and streamers as water temps climb above the high 30s and low 40s. During snowmelt (typically May into early June), flows are high and off-color; lakes like Jackson Lake, Jenny Lake, and smaller ponds become prime options, with lake trout and kokanee staging deeper and trout cruising shorelines during low-light periods. Summer (late June through August) is peak dry-fly season once runoff drops. The Snake, Gros Ventre, and Hoback rivers offer excellent cutthroat fishing with attractor dries and terrestrials. In fall, cooling temps and stable flows create another strong window; brown trout in the Snake and nearby tailwaters respond well to streamers, while cutthroat continue to rise to small mayfly patterns on clear days. Winter fishing is possible on slower, deeper Snake River runs and tailouts with midge and tiny nymph rigs fished low and slow.

Key habitats around Jackson include the main Snake River, side channels, spring-fed creeks, and large natural lakes. The Snake features classic Western riffle-run-pocket water, gravel bars, and braided channels—ideal for drifting attractor dries along foam lines. Cutbanks and soft seams in side channels routinely hold larger cutthroat. Higher-elevation creeks in the Gros Ventre and Teton ranges provide smaller water with eager fish that respond to simple dry-dropper setups. Jackson Lake and nearby lakes add a deep-water dimension, where downrigger or lead-core trolling, as well as vertical jigging, can be effective for lake trout.

Effective techniques depend heavily on water type and time of year. On the Snake, a common approach is to float from a drift boat or raft and cover water with large dry flies: chernobyl-style patterns, foam hoppers, and stimulators in sizes 8–14. Add a small beadhead dropper 18–24 inches below the dry to reach slightly deeper holding fish. Wading anglers should work methodically, starting close to the bank and targeting seams, eddies, and slower water behind boulders. In spring and fall, streamers—such as articulated sculpin patterns in olive, black, or white—stripped across current breaks can move bigger trout, especially early and late in the day.

On lakes near Jackson, focus on structure: points, drop-offs, and inlets. During low-light windows, cruise shorelines casting spoons, spinners, or weighted streamers for cruising trout. As the sun rises, shift deeper, using sinking lines or weighted rigs to reach fish holding along breaks. In smaller creeks, stealth matters; approach from downstream, keep a low profile, and use short accurate casts with high-floating dries like small hoppers, elk hair caddis, and parachute adams.

Tactical tips for the Jackson area include matching your start time to season—early and late in midsummer to avoid mid-day lulls, and mid-day in spring and fall when water warms. Polarized glasses are invaluable for reading the Snake’s complex currents and spotting holding slots behind rocks and in soft inside bends. Because clarity can shift quickly with weather and runoff, carry a range of tippet sizes and fly sizes, from bushy attractors for off-color flows to smaller, more natural patterns for ultra-clear autumn water. Flexibility in water choice—river versus lake, main stem versus tributary—pays off in this highly dynamic mountain fishery.
