Pictures of Fishermen (and Women), Page 8
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.

Lena casting.

Pretty grayling fins.
My dad's first arctic grayling.
Another entry into my "dad dropping a fish" series. Here he's dropping his first arctic grayling back in the drink. It was still on the hook, so we got a better picture shortly.
This kype-jawed 21 inch male was my biggest trout ever at the time. Two casts after I released this one, another of about the same size savagely hit my nymph, leapt into the air, and spit the hook in about half a second.
Out in this pike slough we made an interesting fine, a long-decayed moose carcass. Against my protest, my dad lifted the skull out of the water as a potential souvenir. However, it wasn't quite broken down to nothing-but-bone yet, and it smelled horrible, so it went back in the river.
This opening day brook trout was one of my first of 2004.
