Pictures of Fishermen (and Women), Page 2
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.
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.

This is my first-ever lake trout, caught on a spinner before we stopped to unpack the fly rods near the beginning of a 4-day float trip. I caught another of about the same size soon thereafter. The coloration is incredible compared to other lakers I've seen -- a much more believable cousin to the brook trout.
Here's my first Alaskan salmon, a small king that put up a fun fight.

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.
This 26.5" hen steelhead was my biggest trout ever at the time.
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.
My girlfriend casts amidst a mix of bugs hatching in mid-July from a Catskill stream.
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.
My dad attempts to pose with a 20-inch brown trout he just caught. We took
a "good" picture first, but I think this one is much better!
