How it fishes
A Idaho spring creek
A spring creek wells up from the ground at a near-constant temperature, so it stays clear, cold, and stable through the year. The water is rich and the fish see everything, which makes for technical, small-fly fishing and long, fine leaders.
Flow and gauge
Reading the flows
The Teton is metered at USGS gauge 13052200. Watch the trend as much as the number: a river that is dropping and clearing fishes very differently from one that is coming up.
Access and regulations
Before you fish
Access and the right to fish are the angler’s responsibility, every time. Public access, private water, and seasonal closures vary along the river, so confirm where you can legally stand and wade before you go. We do not point you to a specific spot.
Read the current rules, license requirements, and any special-regulation water before you go. Regulations change season to season, so check them fresh.
Flow and water temperature from USGS, weather from NWS and NOAA, refreshed hourly. Real-time USGS readings are provisional and subject to revision. The hatch chart and river read are Rivus model output.
