Salt River – Fly Fishing Float
Salt River gives you a chance of catching a good size Brown Trout
An Intimate Trip, Great For Beginners
The Salt is a great place for a beginner to learn to fly fish
The casting is easy and you can usually cast large, easily seen dry flies, which always makes for a fun day of fly fishing. Cutthroat love to take flies on the surface so you will probably spend most of your time fishing dry flies.

The Salt River is a small intimate river with brushy banks that flows out of the Salt River Range through Star Valley, Wyoming and eventually empties into Palisades Reservoir. It has a good population of Cutthroat and Brown Trout, which average from 12 to 14 inches.
