Pictures of Fishermen (and Women), Page 4
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 dad's first wild Alaskan rainbow trout.
Here my dad drops his largest resident rainbow ever, after a spectacular fight. It's a good 18 inches.

Here I'm tying on a fly in the middle of a warm summer day. Despite the conditions, the trout responded well.

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 scrambles along the rocks at the base of this canyon as an 18-inch, wild Alaskan rainbow gives him the best fight he's ever had from a fish.
I was stuck sharing a long pool with several other fishermen on this popular spring creek, but I had the best fishing (the tail of the pool) all to myself, because it took the most walking to get there. The dusk hatch was extremely intense, complex, and difficult.
My dad missed strikes for a couple hours in this demanding small stream before finally catching this pretty brook trout. The stream is pristine and its trout very wild, but the insect population is terrific, so the trout (a mix of browns and brookies) are not naive.
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.
Here I'm netting a nice rainbow in the rapids.
