Pictures of Fishermen (and Women)
Hare are the obligatory pictures of me and people I've fished with, fishing and holding fish. Fly casting makes for really nice pictures if the camera's set up just right. And nothing beats a candid "dropping a fish" moment.
My friend Ian throws a fine cast in a section of river that's open year-round. From the bridge, we spotted a very nice brown nymphing, but neither of us could get it to take.
Here I'm looking through the sampling net for interesting nymphs, some of which ended up on this site.
This is my biggest and certainly best stream-resident rainbow to date, a wild 19-incher pulled from a Class III-IV rapids. It's also the first fish ever to take me into my backing.

Lena wading across the riffle to catch up with me.
Here I was unsuccessfully trying to find some lake-run fish that would have been stopped by the impressive barrier in the background. I didn't see any fish.
I cross a small river after an unsuccessful attempt to find some fall-run landlocked salmon. This picture was taken shortly after another
very nice wider picture of the same spot.

I try to find a brookie in a beautiful, clear pool, but with no luck.
Lena sneaks up on some alleged brook trout which gave no sign of their presence to either one of us.
