Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE RIVERS

Glacier‑fed freestone water

The Green and New Fork are glacier‑fed freestone rivers reached about 45 miles from the Teton Troutfitters shop; their colder flows and structure make them prime habitat for trout and give the day a distinct alpine character.

THE CATCH

A full complement of native and wild trout

These rivers hold all the region's trout species — rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat — offering varied tactics and targets through the season.

THE SETTING

Wind River Range vistas and wildlife

The approach to the rivers drops you into broad views of the Wind River Range and, at times, grazing antelope along the road down to the water.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

You depart early from the Teton Troutfitters shop and drive across the Continental Divide to cool, glacier‑fed water. After descending a dirt access road you spend the day working runs and pools on the Green and New Fork Rivers with a guide who provides rods, flies, personal flotation devices, snacks and instruction — a compact, instruction‑rich day tailored to trout that favor colder freestone currents.
