About the Teton River
The Teton River has two personalities, and anglers should know which one they are booking. Above the canyon, in Teton Valley between Driggs and Tetonia, it is a slow, weedy, spring-influenced meadow river that fishes like a spring creek and holds a famous population of native Yellowstone cutthroat. Below Felt the river drops into a steep basalt canyon, picks up gradient and speed, and becomes a very different piece of water – broken, fast and much harder to wade. It then leaves the canyon and runs out across the plain to join the Henrys Fork near St. Anthony.
This gauge sits on that lower reach near St. Anthony, below the canyon and below the site of the Teton Dam that failed in 1976. The number it reports is the whole basin’s output, not the meadow water most guides actually fish. That distinction matters because the two reaches respond very differently: the valley water is buffered by spring inflow and stays fishable when the canyon is blown out with runoff. Anglers reading this gauge should treat it as a basin-wide indicator rather than as a direct read on conditions in the upper river.
The fishing itself is excellent and well served by outfitters in Driggs and Victor. Yellowstone cutthroat are the headline and the reason the valley reach carries a strong catch-and-release ethic. Rainbows are present and hybridise with them, brown trout show up in the lower river, brook trout occupy the small tributaries, and mountain whitefish are everywhere and worth catching in winter. Summer means big attractor dries and, in a good year, one of the better salmonfly and green drake windows in eastern Idaho. The gauge reports discharge and stage but carries no water temperature series.

Seasons
Spring: high, dirty runoff in the canyon and lower river, with the spring-fed valley water clearing first.
Summer: the main season, with salmonfly and drake hatches and consistent dry-fly cutthroat fishing in the valley.
