Caption: Lockjaw Creek Keeping a secret fishing spot a secret
Caption: At Eddie Bauer we know the importance of keeping a secret fishing spot, well, secret. So when Jackson-based photographer Chris Figenshau sent us these incredible images of "Lockjaw Creek" somewhere near his home base, we agreed to run the images without divulging the location or the directions.
We know it is somewhere in Wyoming, maybe.

Caption: Your wife, your child and especially that 'other' fishing buddy of yours must not even have an inkling of your whereabouts on this day.
A good cover story will come in handy. Something like: "I'm going mountain biking with 'X' down near the Idaho border. I don't think there will be very good cell reception and it looks like we'll be pretty late getting back so don't wait up."

Caption: When you see your other fishing friends they will ask you, as they invariably do, "Have you been fishing lately?"
It is paramount that no smile or glimmer of fishing success comes to form your expression.
Straight face them, eye to eye. "Nope. All I do is work."
