JHTU hosted our annual fish rescue near Teton Village, bringing volunteers together to move fish safely from irrigation ditches back to the Snake River. In total, we rescued 2,147 fish, including 361 cutthroat trout. Thank you to everyone who helped throughout the day, especially our local guides, families, friends, and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. We appreciate everyone's time and effort in helping return these fish to the Snake River! @wygameandfish @westbankanglers @jhflyfishingschool @tetontroutfitters @fishtheflyguideservice @jhchildrensmuseum

Jackson Hole Trout Unlimited and local volunteers relocated over 2,000 fish from irrigation ditches back to the Snake River near the Village. The group saved 361 cutthroat trout during the yearly effort.
The effort near Teton Village relied on a mix of local fishing guides, families, and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to relocate the fish. These volunteers successfully moved over 2,000 fish that had become trapped in irrigation ditches during the season. Returning these fish to the Snake River helps maintain the local ecosystem and trout populations around Jackson.
