Owner & Head Guide
CHASE PUTNAM

Chase is a naturalist at heart. He grew up fishing and skiing in Colorado and has been fishing for trout his entire life. Traveling the world with his kit in tow, he’s caught fish in some of the most beautiful and remote areas of wilderness you could hope to find yourself in.
Having guided the waters surrounding Jackson Hole since 2009, Chase is respected as one of the top fishermen in the region. Nothing makes Chase happier than sharing the joy of fishing in a pristine environment, which is why he started Teton Trout Hookers.
There are few with more knowledge and passion than Chase; he knows these rivers like the back of his hand and is keenly connected to the whereabouts and behaviors of fish here. A day on the water with Chase will not only be a fish-filled experience, but also a great time. Chase has a wicked sense of humor and will make sure you enjoy your day to the fullest, making memories that last a lifetime.
When he’s not guiding fishing trips Chase enjoys fly-tying, saltwater fishing, and spending time with his kids.
