Yellowstone pack trips / guided fly fishing adventures.

Come enjoy a Wyoming pack trip and guided fly fishing adventure in the Teton Wilderness of Wyoming and the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Step back in time to fish amazing fisheries without the crowds while setting your hook in a wild Yellowstone cutthroat trout. And be deafened by the silence of a true wilderness area!!

The upper Yellowstone/Thorofare affords world-class fishing for wild Yellowstone cutthroat trout. These fish will range in length from 16 to 25 inches. The younger adolescent fish remain in Yellowstone Lake during the spring spawn. Normally good numbers of fish are seen daily. The average catch per day per person is 6 to 12.

SUMMER FISHING TRIP/PACK TRIP DESTINATIONS:

Fishing the headwaters of the Yellowstone, Yellowstone River, and Thorofare River.

Bighorn sheep, Elk, mule deer, black bears, and grizzly bears are all abundant, so whether you are an amateur or a professional photographer, bring your cameras!!

LOCATION

Wyoming’s untouched Teton wilderness on the southern boundary of Yellowstone National Park.

All fishing trips/ pack trips start from our base camp located at the Turpin Meadows trailhead.

Guests driving to Wyoming should arrive in Dubois or Jackson the day before their scheduled trip. Guests flying should also arrive in Jackson Hole the day before the start of their trip. On the morning of the trip’s first day, we meet at the Turpin Meadows trailhead 44 miles north of Jackson Hole on the south boundary of the Teton Wilderness. From here all personnel and gear are transported by horse and mule.

CAMP

The camp will consist of lightweight sleeping tents that are roomy enough to stand up and accommodate comfortable cots with pads. All-you-can-eat meals are served under a dining fly. A sanitary toilet is always part of our camp. Solar showers are used and simply hung overhead
