Pictures of Fishermen (and Women), Page 3

My girlfriend holds her first trout up. The photo's blurry because the lens is covered with mist from the waterfall.

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.

My girlfriend prepares to cast into a deep waterfall pool.

This is probably my largest grayling to date -- it's about 18 inches.

Trying for burbot. I've taken a few small ones on setlines in this eddy in the past, but never tried on rod and reel. There were no takers.

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 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.

Here's my first Alaskan salmon, a small king that put up a fun fight.

Here my dad drops his largest resident rainbow ever, after a spectacular fight. It's a good 18 inches.

This above/below shot has Gonzo fishing on top and a beautiful tea-stained little Pocono stream on the bottom.
