I ama little late getting this posted but so goes it! No picture to accompany this one. Jud, Colter, and I went fishing on Jackson Lake Saturday the 1st of March. . You would think that the beginning of March would give you more likelihood of a nice day but it was -22 degrees as we walked out to the lake from the parking lot about a mile or so at least. That would have been fine but we discovered the water had come up and made it really slushy. That would have been OK but Colter and I kept breaking through and his boots were not as watertight. As cold as it was we didn't dare keep him out there not knowing how cold his feet were so Jud set me up to fish and hauled Colter back across the lake pulling him in a toboggan while Jud XCountry skied. While they were gone I had some fun fishing with a sonar fish finder Jud has. I could see my jig and then the fish looking at it and that kept things exciting. I caught 4 and Jud had caught one before he had to haul Colter back. When Jud got back (and he brought back my skis!) I went back and Colter and I headed for home leaving Jud to fish and come back with a friend who had driven up separately. Colter and I had a nice trip home stopping at Wendy's for some brunch and having a good visit. Cold but a great time.

You need to take Kirk fishing up there! He was off Saturday. He has never been on Jackson Lake. I think he would love it!
Mom says ,Were you sure the ice was thick enough?? Slush is a good indicator of melting!!
