Jeff Currier's Fly Fishing Presentations
""Fly Fishing In and Around Jackson Hole, Wyoming"
 |
PowerPoint Based Presentation |
While
most hardcore Rocky Mountain fly fishers focus their annual adventures
throughout Montana, the waters in and around Jackson Hole, WY remain
relatively undiscovered. Jackson is located only ten miles from Grand
Teton National Park and 55 miles from the South Entrance of Yellowstone
National Park. We all know there's plenty of great fishing in
Yellowstone, but, what most are unaware of is that there is also
fantastic fishing in Teton Park.
Under
the Teton Mountains flows one of the most scenic rivers in the world,
the Snake. The Snake and its tributaries home native Snake River
Cutthroats. These cutties eat dry flies better than any trout in the
world! Other great nearby rivers are Flat Creek, Wind, Green, New Fork,
South Fork and Henry's Fork just to name a few. Kick back and let your
mouth water as Jeff introduces you to the waters he calls home!
The Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout is a form of the
Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki bouvieri) subspecies.
Sub-speices designation has been proposed with a trinomial
classification of Oncorhynchus clarki behnkei, but the sub-species is
not formally recognized. This cutthroat trout takes its common name from
its original habitat, the Snake River of southern Idaho and western
Wyoming, and from its unusual pattern of hundreds of small spots that
cover most of its body.
