Pictures of Fishermen (and Women), Page 3
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.

My dad went to great lengths to place a good cast above this high spruce sweeper into a little back slough where he saw a grayling rise. The cast was good, he assures me, but the grayling did not take.

Even when it's not the peak of the salmon season, the Kenai is pretty crowded.
My dad works his way through the shallows of a smallmouth river. The hole around the large boulder might shelter bass in normal water, but we floated this stretch during a prolonged drought and the fish had left the shallows.
This is my dad's first wild Alaskan rainbow trout.

Here I fruitlessly pound one of the best-looking holding lies I've ever seen for nice trout. I've never so much as hooked a trout there.
