Out Like A Lion


As the saying goes, the month of March is supposed to "come in like a lion, and go out like a lamb". Maybe not this year. There is a winter storm watch in effect for our area starting tomorrow night through Wednesday morning. If this thing hits us, we could end up with some very significant snow in the high country and the valley. Good news for skiers, as we start the last week of lift served skiing at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village. Also, very good news for anglers, since we need to seriously boost our snowpack and water content before the summer arrives. We'll see what happens. Today was another beautiful day in paradise. Clear skies, and warm temperatures brought everyone outside this weekend. I can't remember the last time I saw so many driftboats being pulled around town, and so many anglers wadefishing the Snake near Wilson so early in the season. These fish are going to get educated even earlier this year! Lets hope everyone out there is practicing catch-and-release; get them in quick and release them just as quickly please! Scroll down to check the latest from the Trout Unlimited live feed. There is an extended interview with Deadliest Catch's Sig Hansen that is worth the read. Here's a shot of a healthy Brown taken on the Snake, headed home.
