Pictures of Fishermen (and Women)

Here's a panorama of the junction of the two main branches of an Alaskan river where my dad and I had great grayling fishing on our float trip in that blue cataraft.

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's the first of many new pictures of Alaska that I'll be putting online as soon as I get the chance. It's a panorama of my dad standing and looking across the valley of the river where we both caught our first arctic grayling an hour or so later.

You've got to see it full-size to appreciate it.

Here my dad's fighting a very nice arctic grayling, and this photo caught it mid-jump at the end of his line. This one eventually shook the hook, but we both caught many more in the same size range.

My girlfriend casts amidst a mix of bugs hatching in mid-July from a Catskill stream.

This colorful brown was my dad's first nice trout on a dry fly. It was also the best of the day, taken with a nice cast after doing some slightly crazy wading through silt and deep water to get into position.

I strike at a hit in an inviting piece of dry fly water.

This 26.5" hen steelhead was my biggest trout ever at the time.

My dad finally broke his long, uncanny fishless streak with this nearly 2 inch long common shiner caught on a size 22 Serratella imitation during a Trico spinner fall. Heh heh.
