in pristine environments with such an amazing scenic backdrop.

Snake River: This majestic river offers fantastic
fishing for cutthroat trout in an unrivaled scenic setting. The
river opens to fishing April 1st to October 31st . Silver and
copper colored barbless spinners should work for the spin fisherman,
while wooly buggers, PMD's and bushy stimulators work well for
the fly fisherman. The Snake is home to the native fine Spotted
Snake River Cutthroat Trout.
Jackson Lake: This large lake offers trophy lake trout
fishing as well as brook, cutthroat and brown trout. To fish for
the lake trout, you really need a boat except for the spring,
when the lake trout move shallow and feed on baitfish. Streamers,
spinners and spoons should do the trick.
Jenny Lake: This jaw dropping lake sits right at the base
of the Tetons. Few spots on our planet offer this kind of majesty.
For a great day of scenic fishing and exploring, walk the lengthy
shoreline and cast streamers from rocky points or sunken logs
for large cutthroat.
