Greys River Sports: Alpine Fly Fishing Gear Rentals & Guided Trips
Book Now
Greys River Sports is a locally owned fly shop and outdoor recreation store at 106 Greys River Road in Alpine, Wyoming, at the confluence of the Greys, Snake, and Salt Rivers. They run guided fly-fishing trips, sell flies and gear, and rent watercraft and outdoor equipment. The right fit is anglers staying in Alpine or Star Valley, traveling visitors who want a guide-driven day on three river systems, and DIY paddlers needing rentals. The wrong fit is anyone wanting a Jackson-town fly shop; this is the Alpine-area choice for serious river-side service.
Greys River Sports: Alpine’s Fly Fishing Gear, Trips & Rentals
A working fly shop with adjacent guide service and rental operation. Fly shop carries flies (with patterns matched to the local rivers), leaders, tippet, lines, rod-and-reel selection, waders, and the supporting gear. Guided trips run drift-boat and wade options across the Greys, Snake (whitewater and lower stretches), and Salt Rivers. Rentals cover rafts, kayaks, SUPs, and gear for DIY river days. Wyoming fishing licenses available in shop. Operates year-round on the retail side; guided-trip and rental seasons run roughly May through October.
Why people use this shop
Three reasons. First, location. The shop sits at the confluence of three of the strongest cutthroat fisheries in western Wyoming; getting flies, gear, and guide bookings at the river edge saves hours of logistics versus driving back to Jackson. Second, local knowledge. The staff actually fish the same water; current-conditions advice is real, not generic. Third, breadth of service. A single shop covering retail, guides, and rentals simplifies a multi-day Star Valley-area trip.
Other similar businesses
For Jackson-side fly shops, route to Snake River Angler, Grand Teton Fly Fishing, or Teton Troutfitters. Greys River Sports owns the Alpine-and-Star Valley lane; for trips on the Greys specifically (lower-pressure, freestone water with native cutthroat), this is the right starting point.
How to plan a trip
Book guided trips ahead, especially July through September. Bring polarized sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, layers, and quick-dry clothing; gear (rods, reels, waders, flies) is provided on guided trips. For DIY rentals, confirm river conditions before pickup; high-water weeks change which rivers are runnable. The shop is in Alpine, about an hour's drive south of Jackson on US-89.
Tradeoffs to know
Two honest tradeoffs. First, this is Alpine, not Jackson; the drive is real if you're staying in town. Second, weather and flow drive the program; flexibility on which river and which trip type is part of the deal.
One thing to keep in mind
For an underrated Western Wyoming fishing day, target a Greys River wade-and-walk trip in late August or early September. The water is lower-pressured than the Snake, the cutthroat are willing, and the canyon scenery is the kind of mountain-river experience that Jackson visitors usually miss. Pair with a stay at Flying Saddle Resort or Greys River Cove RV Park to skip the Jackson commute.
Final call
For an Alpine fly shop with guides, rentals, and direct river access at the confluence of three strong Wyoming fisheries, Greys River Sports is the right call. Book ahead, base near Alpine, and let the shop staff direct the day's water choice.
