Pics from last outings before the spawn.... plus a failed attempt at a hero shot.

I made it out a few evenings this week and last for some fishing before the browns start spawning. I'll leave the fish alone from now til the fish are off the redds. There's no good reason to bother the browns during the swawn, although the fly fishing national championship competitors feel differently. They'll be beating up on the spawners in about 2 weeks on some of the water where these pics were taken.

I've been working on taking better shots of fish with my new camera. Havent got it figured out quite yet, but i'm getting there.













and lastly a friends failed attempt at a hero shot....

    Nah, not my face. That's my friend Andy. I think you met him when you were here to fish the grannoms.

    Solid.

    I was just wondering what was going with that tournament... sure is a bummer.

    "Sure, we can assiduously three-quarter our wets downstream, mend and wait out each fly swing, over and over again, which to my way of thinking, anyway, relegates the angler to the role, not of nemesis as it should be, but of butler."

    It is a bummer.

    There's no worse time to have a tournament. A friend of mine who fished the LJR last night told me a female he caught, released a bunch of eggs while he was releasing her.

    Now's the time to leave them alone, not rip them off the redds and make them the score in a game.

    I already filled my buck tag, and business is slowing down for the winter, I should have a lot of time on my hands soon.

    Nice pics and some nice browns there.

    The only thing better than 1 day of fishing is 2 days of fishing.
