Stripping for a cure FISHING DAY
Stripping for a Cure is an annual women’s fly fishing event held on the Snake River in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It is rooted in something far bigger than a day on the water.
Each year, women anglers armed with pink flies fish from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on various stretches of the Snake River, from Pacific Creek to West Table, alongside professional guides. The day includes friendly fishing and wildlife contests, prizes, awards, dinner, swag bags, and—most importantly—connection.
While Fishing Day is women on the river, Stripping for a Cure is a community-wide effort. It’s about showing up, standing together, and turning joy, camaraderie, and shared passion into real impact.
We are more than fishing.
We are connection.
We are support.
And we are here to make a difference.
Event FAQs
Do I need to be an expert angler to participate in Stripping for a Cure?
Not at all! All angler levels are welcome. We work with the top guides in the Tetons to ensure that anglers of all abilities enjoy their day on the Snake River. Our participants get points for fish, as well as wildlife and bird sightings.
Do I need to already have a partner to participate in Stripping for a Cure?
You do not. Although some anglers sign up as pairs, we always have several solo participants that we match up (guides take two people per boat). New friends are often made over a shared love of fishing and philanthropy!
Do I need my own rod? Flies? Fishing license?
No. You may bring your own rod and reel; however, if you are new to fly fishing and don’t have gear, your guide will gladly provide a rod and reel for the day. Pink flies are included in your gift bags and your guide will select and provide any other flies needed.
You must purchase your Wyoming fishing license before Fishing Day 2026. You can purchase your license at any fly fishing shop or online. You MUST have your fishing license on your person on Friday.
