Winter fishing in Jackson Hole often means taking up ice fishing. On a beautiful Sunday in late January, the Teton County 4-H Fishing Club gathered at the Snake River Sporting Club for a grand day of fishing.

It’s been a few days now, and I am sure there are already stories of the young fishermen and fisherwomen having trouble getting the huge fish through the hole—continuing the long tradition of “fishing tales”. If you are a fisherman, you are genetically programmed to stretch the truth—20%-30% is the expected norm. River guides will yell to their clients they just caught a 20 incher, knowing the trout was closer to 16″. Clients grin and go along with it and the guides get a bigger tip. Like I said, it’s a tradition!
