An unidentified man fishes in Jackson Lake. He stands in knee-high water in the center of the lake and holds a fishing rod. A person in a small boat is behind him in the distance to the left. Behind and to the right of the man fishing is a small set of stairs under a large tree. Posts indicating a road line the background and run parallel to the edge of the lake. A car is on the left and further down the road and under a large tree are picnic tables. The lake, trees and a mountainside on the right occupy the background.
