World Class Fly Fishing Event.
More Than an Event: A Legacy of Conservation
The Jackson Hole One Fly Foundation was established in 1986 by a group of passionate anglers, including Curt Gowdy and Jack Dennis, who envisioned an event that would not only celebrate the sport of fly fishing but also generate significant funding for the protection and enhancement of the wild trout fisheries they cherished.
Our Mission
To generate, manage and grant funding for projects and education which benefit the future of trout and fly fishing by annually sponsoring a three-day event uniting enthusiastic fly fishers from around the world with premier regional guides who all endeavor to celebrate the joy and spirit of the sport during the fishing, social and fundraising activities of the event, and who throughout the year, promote that same joy and spirit of fly fishing and the future of trout.
Our Impact
Since 1993, the Jackson Hole One Fly Foundation has raised $3.4 million while joining matching funds from others to fund $24.5 million — yielding total conservation funding of $27.9 million for selected trout conservation projects. Our work focuses primarily on the Snake River drainage and headwaters in Yellowstone Park, wherever critical trout habitat conservation is needed.
What Makes Us Different
The Jackson Hole One Fly captures the spirit of friendly event while encouraging the generosity of participants for fundraising stream improvement projects for trout habitat as well as stewardship education. We don’t lose sight of what fly fishing is all about — the celebration of the trout, a beautiful cast, and gathering of friends under the canopy of the majestic Tetons.
Grants
The Jackson Hole One Fly Foundation uses monies raised to fund conservation, habitat preservation, rehabilitation and educational stewardship for the benefit of trout populations primarily in the Snake River Basin and headwaters in Yellowstone Park, but also beyond. Founded in 1986, the JHOFF is committed to responsible conservation activities in concert with other not-for-profit, state and federal agencies to benefit fly fishing, trout populations and trout habitat.
