Epic Trip Report, Part 4 – Grand Teton

[Tim Angeli]

It seems like I’ve been overdoing it a bit with the pictures in the previous reports since people have been having such trouble getting them to load.

[Corey Kruitbosch]

Great installment on the journey! Some good lookin’ water and some nice fish! Thanks for the report.

[Bob Riggins]

You’re killing me!

Grand Tetons (which I believe is French for Big Tits) is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Tim, that is a bad ass articulated fly in that fish picture.

[Mike Cline]

[Joel Thompson]

Actual I think that Tetons means 3 teats not big teats!

Great photos / stories!

Eric –

I’m afraid Bob is right, although you’re also correct to note that the original expedition called them something like ‘the Grand Tetons, or the three “paps”,’ noting that there are, in fact, three of them.

If you run them through Yahoo Translate here, you get “Big Nipples” for “Grand Tetons.”

That jives with what I remember from French class, though it’s been a while now.

Tim, do post a picture of that big black nasty streamer.

Wandering into Jackson without being to familiar with town is like wandering into a dark alley in New York City.

Creekside Deli sandwiches and then the 3 hour Creek X
miss it too much…you didnt sit on the saddles did you??JK

I have fished that creek more than any when I lived there, the glass water is almost impossible, almost.  The best spot is that spot upstream where you can see that riffle coming out.  You were at the spot where if I had to pick out one place to hang out the last 3 hours of my life, that was it.  I love those fish, they are all so different.  Another great spot is down closer to where it hits the snake.  The straight away hots the bank and creates a great pocket against the bank.  It is great to see you fished it and that the fish havent changed much….great report

Bob, this is precisely the reason that Grand Teton is my favorite of the National Parks.

All, I will post a pic of that streamer once I get a chance to shoot just the streamer.

Michigan boys sure do know their larger articulated streamers.
