Fly-fishing on river’s in the western states, especially at the beginning of the season, is directly affected by how much snow is in the mountains and how fast it is melting.

Alpine Outfitting Company guides exclusively on The Salt River which tends to clear up slightly earlier than river’s to the north around Jackson Hole where snowfall totals are higher and the river’s are “blown-out” into the summer months.
