Snake River Angler & Scenic Float Trips

Did the snake river float w/​Dustin. He was an excellent guide who made the experience excellent. He was extremely knowledgable on wildlife, the area, flora and fauna, and everything in between. The float is very leisurely and relaxing. No helmets or paddling required by anybody on the trip.

This is a great tour and I appreciate guide’s hard work and interesting stories but I’d advise to cut this trip to 2 hrs. It’s a nice way of seeing animals but sitting in the raft for 4 hrs and not doing anything gets boring pretty fast. Overall, I’m happy I did it but won’t do it again.

One star for the mean guy behind the counter, would have given 4 for the guy who helped me but want people to know what type of customer service guys work here.
So I expected to get great service at the store after the reviews but it seems I got the Good guy /​Bad guy cop treatment. I walked in and found two young guys at the counter, one in front and one in back. When i asked if someone could help me with some flies for this area the young (bad) guy behind the counter asked where I was going. I said Turquoise lake. He made a face and said well you are not going to find many fish there. The other (good) said well maybe you never know. So I asked if maybe they could just tell me which ones I could buy to take in case. Bad guy just made more faces and Good guy said we will find you something. So this is were good guy gave me great service and helped me find a few flies. We had a bit of small talk and went to the counter. That’s when bad guy (who seemed angry for some reason at someone shopping and spending money for fish that might not exist) grabbed the flies so fast of the table one got hooked to his finger. He then rang it up and tossed the pen at me to sign. Let’s just say this was not the Jackson Hole hospitality I expected especially from fishermen.
So angry bad guy I wish you the best, and good guy keep being you !

My buddy and I took a half day fly fishing float down the Snake River yesterday. We had no experience fly fishing and our guide was great to show us the ropes beside the river before starting. He was very patient with us and helped us along the way giving us pointers. We put in at the Pritchard boat ramp and floated to the Elbow boat ramp on the Snake River. The guide did pick us up at our place in Teton Village, took us the the shop for liscences and flys. His equipment and gear was great. The guide was great to get us untangled and rig us up. He told us he had snacks and drinks. We caught a couple cutthroats and missed a few too. The ride down the river was excellent. The landscape and river was beautiful. We saw three bald eagles along the trip. We had to pry the snacks and drinks out of the guide. He finally anchored and shared some chips, licorice, and sodas with us. The guide was very knowledgable and knew the area well. When we were through. The guide put the poles away with our flys on them. I had to ask for our flys back. He acted like he forgot and was quick to hand them over. We tipped him well because he did do a great job. Don’t get me wrong, everything was great and I would do this trip again in a heartbeat no questions asked. I can say one thing though pack your own lunch/​snacks don’t expect a five star or two star food on this trip. If I were this guide I would have packed sandwiches, a thermos of coffee, some sweets, and really done lunch up right. This is where the guide could have shined and received a better tip.
Overall this is a great outfitter and guide and I would highly recommend them.
