JACKSON, Wyo. — The fall season, with fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, offers ample opportunities for anglers.
Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s (WGFD) fall fishing forecast predicts lake trout will be in abundance in Jackson lakes, creeks and rivers.
“Boat anglers will have the best luck early in the fall finding concentrations of feeding lake trout on deeper points and drop-offs,” said Darren Rhea, Game and Fish fisheries supervisor in the Jackson Region. “Later in the fall, toward the end of the spawn and into November, bank anglers can experience great success for lake trout along the shores of any of the large lakes in the area, including Jackson, Jenny and Slide lakes.”
According to WGFD, it’s promising to catch trophy brown trout during their spawning season along the Salt River, from October through November. The Salt River is a smaller tributary located on the western slope of the Salt River Mountain Range just south of the town of Afton, Wyoming.
Jackson Lake is closed in October to protect spawning lake trout.
