The Upper Green below the Green River Lakes is one of the buggiest places in the West. Never been there anytime to fish when it wasn't extremely buggy. Fishing is just OK in my book. The Grey's isn't that close to Jackson. It flows down the Wyoming Range for about 60 miles to dump into the Snake in Alpine, Wyoming, just above the Palies reservoir. Alpine is a good 45-50 minute drive from Jackson . I'd go with the Greys if you love to wade. All but about 2 miles of that 60 miles is open to public fishing. Water levels are just coming down and now through another week or so should be peak fishing. Almost all snake river cutts except an occasional whitefish. The big ones really put up a fight unlike our cutts in Utah. I seldom use more than a 4wt anywhere in Utah but always use a 5 or even 6 wt on some sections up there this time of year. Send me a pm if you think you'll go and I'll tell you where to expect what. Either that or you can fish 60 miles of river and have the satisfaction of finding them on your own. If you're taking kids the beauty of the place is it starts out a tiny stream and ends up a floatable river about 3-5 times the size of the Provo. Can find the right size water to accommodate kids of any age. Plenty of good camping as well.
