Westbank Anglers

Visited this store 3 times during a recent vacation to Grand Tetons National park. It was very close to our condo. Bought Wyoming licenses there for myself and sons, plus some fishing gear and clothing. The guys in the shop were helpful each time I visited. The shop was very well stocked, especially for its size, and they gave great information on areas to fish locally for folks who were out of town. Would definitely frequent this store if I was lucky enough to live nearby all the time!

Went fly fishing down the Snake River from Dead Man’s Bar to Moose Visitor Center (8 mile trip by boat (not- motorized). I’m a novice fly fisherman that just started last year. Dean Burton was my Guide on the trip. He was a great teacher and I learned a lot of techniques for casting and caught some nice Cutthroat trout. Dean is very experienced guide and knows where the fish are. Baker at the Shop was very helpful setting up my trip by phone. I ordered my WY fishing license online. Very easy to do and you can download it to your email and phone. I had a very positive experience. I plan to recommend the trip to my Fly Fishing Club in Naples, FL.

Walked in to buy some fishing licenses and some flies. Older guy with graying beard was a jerk about it telling us much easier to do our licenses online. Made it very apparent that we were wasting his time doing licenses. Take your fishing business elsewhere.

Came back to visit WY for the first time in 5 years after living here. Husband and I went to westbank prior to fishing for the day. Walked in to grab some licenses, but quickly left after being treated very rudely by the person working the shop. Made comments such as “of course I wake up every day to print licenses…. you know you can purchase these online”. He made it clear he did not want our business. I understand shops do not make any money on licenses, but there is no excuse to being treated poorly. His behavior was very immature. Certainly won’t be back here to purchase any shop items or book any future guided trips.

Went back to Jackson for the first time in 20 years, 15 years since I have fly fished, my wife a beginner, me a rank novice. First day in Jackson it rains hard, we are fishing tomorrow, a little concerned so we stop in to the shop. Baker is all over the situation, has great energy and a fishing mentality. He had an option already in mind so we wouldn't have to fish a "blown out" river. He set us up with Mike U, a truly patient, knowledgeable guide who rowed hard to get us into fish, and provided excellent instruction to both of us. Two fabulous days on two scenic rivers with the most amazing views and an excellent guide. Mike even left "a little hook in our mouths" when he informed us of an overnight trip on the South Fork (?) with two days on the river..........
