Jackson Lake - Grand Teton National Park Jackson, Wyoming


Jackson Lake

Grand Teton National Park

Jackson Lake, Wyoming


Jackson Lake in the Grand Teton mountains is one of the most beautiful and scenic places you will ever fish. Truthfully, the setting is absolutely breathtaking. The lake is touted as one of the largest high altitude lakes in the United States and when you see it for the first time it is truly a humbling experience. Only our heavenly father could have created something so incredibly beautiful. 

The lake was formed right at the base of the Grand Teton mountains as you can see from this photo. It's full of pike, cutthroat trout, brook and brown trout and of course salmon. The water is very deep some come prepared with an adequate fish finder. The lake is closed to fishing in August. Ice-fishing (not for me) is allowed during the winter months. I find the temperatures far too cold for my old bones. You may feel different. If so, wear warm cloths, as winters in the Tetons and in Yellowstone National park can produce some of the coldest temperatures you can possibly imagine. 

Happy Fishing!
