Jack Dennis Fly Fishing

For those of you reading this that don't know my history, I have been in Jackson, Wyoming for almost 15 years now, and have been working as a fly-fishing guide for Jack Dennis' Snake River Fishing Trips. Jack's guide service, aka Jack Dennis Fishing Trips, has been working out of the Jack Dennis Outdoor Shop on Broadway since the late 1960's. Since then, Jack has acquired numerous concessions permits that allow us to legally guide in Grand Teton National Park, Bridger-Teton National Forest, the BLM areas on the Green River and in Yellowstone National Park. We also have a relationship with Heise Expeditions, on the South Fork of the Snake, that allow us to legally guide in Idaho. Since the beginning, Jack has proudly offered only the highest quality guides to his clientele. Over the past winter, Jack and his former partners at the Jack Dennis Outdoor shop severed their relationship; Jack essentially pulled his premier guide service from the Broadway location to start anew in another fly shop, built from the ground up. I am pleased to announce that we are now officially open! Please visit us at 70 South King Street (across from the Sweetwater Restaurant), just off the town square. (Or call 307-734-8103). We have a great fly selection from Montana Fly Company, Umpqua, Rainy's Flies, Dan Bailey's Flies as well as patterns from local tier Phil Blumquist. We've also got gear from Abel, Thomas and Thomas, Loon, Dr. Slick, Scientific Anglers, Bailey's and RIO. It's a great new spot for us to book our trips, meet our clients and present some flies. It's a new beginning that is sure to take off. For those of you on Facebook, click on the Jack Dennis Fishing Trips badge on the right side of this page to see our store page!
As for the fishing lately...
I've been on the Snake the past few days and it has been extremely windy. The best fishing right now is definitely below South Park. The water clarity and hatch activity (stones and caddis), is much better on the lower river right now than it is in the Park. I've been quite busy lately helping Jack set up his new shop, so I don't have a first hand report from the South Fork or Green. Through the grapevine, however, I've heard that both are turning on nicely. Drakes showing up on the Green early in the day, and stones on the South Fork. More soon!
