Jackson / Snake Drift guide?
 
All,
Well, finally convinced SWMBO she needs to see Yellowstone and the
Tetons before she drags my ass to live in New England.

Heading out for 9 days starting 4 Sept. Staying in Yellowstone for four
days at a cabin at Mammoth Hot Springs then off to Jackson. I can find
my way around Y-Stone fine and Išm looking forward to revisiting Slough
Creek, heck, if I have time maybe a trip up to Fawn ;) I'd like to take
her on a day float trip, likely on the Snake when wešre in Jackson. Sure
they'll be fishing and she might do some but I want her to see the
countryside as well.

Any guides come to mind that would be recommended?

Looks like Baetis, Terrestrials and Caddis on most of the hatch charts
but fly suggestions will be open with welcome arms as it gets closer.

There are worse places. I know - I've seen 'em. ;-) Where in New
England are you relocating?

Give Jackson Hole Anglers 888-45-trout a call. They can arrange a good
float with a good guide.

Thanks Joel, Tim it's a couple years off but the goal is NH in less than

From answers.com

Elevation of Nebraska .--The greater part of Nebraska is a plateau. It
is estimated that the eastern half of the State along the line of the
Union Pacific Railroad has an average elevation of 1,700 feet; the
western half, of 3,525 feet

1825 foot elevation change over the 430 mile width? No thanks my friend,
enjoy your snow drifts this weekend :)

The average of the west may be 1825 ft, but my mom grew up near Morrow and
the back 40 was 6280' high. Was 1.5 miles to the WY border. So Nebraska is
not a complete flat slope.

Joel,

Booked a trip on 10 Sept with them yesterday. Didn't realize the Jackson
Hole one fly is the 8/9th so they said Monday would be the best. Thanks
for the info.
