Pictures of Fishermen (and Women), Page 5

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 I was unsuccessfully trying to find some lake-run fish that would have been stopped by the impressive barrier in the background. I didn't see any fish.

I kneel on a rock trying to catch brookies in a waterfall pool.

Lena unceremoniously releases her first self-fly-caught trout. It landed safely in its home pool.

I like the unexpected "oops" pictures so much better than normally posed fish!

With my friend Brad Bohen at the oars of the drift boat, Don the Pond Monster and I tempted several very nice smallmouths and muskies on a productive evening float.

Unsuccessfully trying to find a brookie. Maybe it would help if I was looking at the fly.

I'm kneeling low in this picture to avoid spooking wary small-stream trout. It's important to blend into the background.

My dad plays the first brown trout he's ever caught on a fly.

I'm holding a beautiful 20 inch brown trout from Isonychia time.
