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 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.
My girlfriend prepares to cast into a deep waterfall pool.
I'm in this picture casing into the riffle above one of my favorite pools. The fishing was fine, but the catching wasn't so hot. I got one strike on my carefully tied nymphs and two on my cheap foam strike indicator.
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.
These advertisements will disappear if you register.
This fat-bodied 22" male was my largest brown trout ever at the time. It took a deep nymph and took me 150 yards downstream in a 20-minute fight in strong current.
My dad holds up the largest trout he's caught so far on a fly, a 20-inch brown. It flipped out of his hand a moment later, making for a much more amusing picture.
This above/below shot has Gonzo fishing on top and a beautiful tea-stained little Pocono stream on the bottom.
This is my largest brook trout ever (as of June '06). Disclaimer: Before any C&R evangelists go for my throat, I'll point out that this is the only trout I've kept all year, and it inhaled my dry fly directly into its gills and ripped one of them out during the fight. It was mine or the herons'.
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!
