Welcome to Wood River Ranch . Wood River Ranch operates on 2000 acres of land bordering the 2.5 million acre Shoshone National forest just outside of Meeteetse, WY. It is a diversified operation running yearling cattle, selling hay, outfitting hunters and fisherman.

Fishing-Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout - Cutthroat Slam: For those fishermen in pursuit of the Cutthroat Slam, the Wood River is a renowned Yellowstone Cutthroat fishery and at Wood River Ranch, we take it up a notch. By fencing our riparian areas and restricting those areas to foot travel, our river bottom has flourished.  All of our river fishing is barbless, catch and release, fly fishing only. Our guides implement strict fish handling techniques so we can ensure that it will stay that way for generations.  For those more novice fishermen, we have two ponds stocked with Yellowstone Cutthroats which are catch and keep if you like and we will prepare them for you that day! All trips are guided.  Our Specialty Is:  Yellowstone Cutthroat, Cutthroat Trout, Cutthroat Slam. 

Hunting. We offer elite guided trophy hunts for Merriam Turkey, Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail, Pronghorn, Mountain Lion, Shiras Moose, Estate Bison, and Big Horn Sheep. With Five Star accommodations at the ranch and a licensed Wilderness Camp in the Shoshone National Forest, we offer the best of both worlds. Uniquely located up the Wood River, our hay fields are the highest irrigated ground in the valley. This makes us a natural hotspot for Mountain Wildlife like none other. The flexibility of being able to hunt from high in camp, and down at the ranch allows us to be able to hunt where the Elk are, no matter the weather. We take a limited number of hunters each year to ensure minimal pressure and maximum trophy quality. You are guaranteed to see staggering numbers of wildlife of all species, and experience the finest in western hospitality.
