The Pond
We have a one acre spring fed pond holding Snake River Cutthroats, a unique strain of cutthroat and the only native trout to Jackson Hole. A resident since the last ice age, this gem of a fish sports a golden bronze body stippled with black spots, all accented by a scarlet slash under each gill plate. Please be gentle with these fish should you be fortunate enough to make their acquaintance. Land them quickly and send them on their way unharmed. All children twelve or under must be accompanied at the pond by a parent or responsible adult. Remember we are only yards from fast moving water – the Hoback River. All water can be dangerous, especially for adventurous, inexperienced children.

We would be pleased to arrange trips to other waters on which we do not hold permits. Please give us plenty of notice, as we would have to book you with another outfitter. The months of July-August are very busy in Jackson Hole, and bookings are at a premium. (Yellowstone National Park, New Fork River, South Fork of the Snake River, Teton River, and the high, Golden Trout Lakes of the Wind River Mountain Range.)
There are many waters in and around Jackson Hole closed to commercial guiding. We would be pleased to give you directions, and outfit you with equipment and lunch.
