Just when you thought the Idaho fish record books didn’t have any blank pages left, one adventurous angler from Moore, Idaho, caught (and released) one of Idaho’s most coveted alpine fish back on June 20.
Like many of us during the dog days of summer, angler Wade Jensen grabbed his collapsible fly rod and headed high into the mountains for a weekend of alpine fishing. Alpine lakes aren’t necessarily known for producing abnormalities in the size department, but can offer venturesome fishermen and fisherwomen a smorgasbord of species, from tiger trout to golden trout.
