We're in the middle of another shoulder season right now in Jackson Hole. The summer tourist season is all but forgotten, and the winter ski season is still a few weeks from starting. The "off season" around Jackson can be a good time to recharge the batteries. No one around but locals taking a breather before the next push into winter. Although the outdoor pursuits can be harder to participate in (slower, colder fishing and no skiing yet), it is still a great time to be here. The town is extremely quiet; there is much less auto and pedestrian traffic, and the restaurants that are open have a mellow feel right now. After all the years here, I still don't mind the off seasons. Most of my friends (including myself), have hung up the waders for awhile, so I don't have much of a local fishing report. Make sure to check out Josh Graffam's site on my link list (Teton Trout)...he's in New Zealand for 3 months stalking large brown trout, and will undoubtedly be posting some great pictures. I'm very jealous! I took a drive tonight up to Teton Park to snap some sunset photos with Charlotte. Here's a nice shot of the Sleeping Indian (Sheep Mountain), guarding the valley. Stay tuned!
