About Fishing at Snake River

Snake River is a public river in Teton County and Lincoln County, Wyoming, managed by Wyoming Game and Fish Department. You can fish it on a Wyoming fishing licence plus a Conservation Stamp. Wyoming grants NO public right to wade or walk a private streambed — legal access is where the water crosses public land, a WGFD walk-in or Public Access Area, or a bridge right-of-way. Check current signage. Public access confirmed via marquee water.

A Wyoming cutthroat stream — native Yellowstone, Snake River, Bonneville or Colorado River cutthroat trout in cold headwater and mid-elevation water, often under cutthroat-conservation regulations, alongside rainbows and brook trout.

It runs roughly 47 miles through the Green River Region (Flaming Gorge & Bear River) region. Anglers here mostly fish for black bullhead, brook trout, brown trout, channel catfish; lake trout, mountain whitefish, northern pike, rainbow trout are also on record. Live flow and gauge height come from the Snake River Above Reservoir, Near Alpine, Wy USGS station shown below. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Pritchard Creek Pond and Dog Creek Pond.

Access & Rules at Snake River

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Wyoming; some waters have seasonal closures (spring spawning, winter) and the cutthroat-conservation and trophy waters post their own rules — check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations.

Boats: The big reservoirs (Flaming Gorge, Boysen, Seminoe, Pathfinder, Glendo, Buffalo Bill, Keyhole) take trailered boats via a state-park or BLM ramp; mountain lakes are hike-in or car-top and rivers are drift-boat, raft or wade. All boats need an AIS decal and inspection.

Bank & bivvy camping: Wyoming is roughly half federal land — dispersed camping is allowed on most BLM and Forest Service ground along these waters, plus developed Forest Service, BLM and state-park campgrounds on nearly every reservoir.

Tackle: The general Wyoming trout creel is 6 (only 1 over 20 inches), but many waters carry reduced limits, slot limits, artificial-only or catch-and-release rules -- cutthroat-conservation streams, Blue Ribbon water and the tailwaters especially. Check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations.
