Help Wanted
Western River Anglers (WRA) is looking for professional fishing guides to join our awesome 2025 team! Join a well-established fishing guide operation based in the Jackson Hole, Wyoming region with a commitment to providing excellent service to our clients.

WRA Guide Philosophy
Guides contracting with WRA should be courteous, professional, and kind to all customers. WRA guides are experienced anglers, oarsmen, and people-oriented individuals who are always passionate and confident, but never cocky. Fishing is a FUN pastime and guides should always keep that in mind. WRA’s goal is to give customers a safe and memorable experience in the outdoors. We strive to catch fish during our guided trips but being a good guide is not always about catching fish. Maintaining a positive attitude, providing a safe experience, sharing the natural beauty of our landscape, and just providing guests with good company are something customers appreciate and remember for years to come. In fact, many of our guests return to fish with us year after year after year!
