Fly Fishing with Friends

Recommended Posts

I had a great two week fly fishing trip, lots of friends, fish and fun, truly a great time.

 

The first morning was wet, even a touch of hail, but the sky began clearing and a rainbow seemed like a good omen.

The weather kept improving, and here's a shot of Wickedcarpenter (Brent) enjoying having a nice section of river to ourselves

I have over 1,400 photos from the trip, and will eventually go through all of them and pick favorites to tweek the RAW files. I noticed that my camera's auto white balance was off in a number of shots, but those RAW files can be adjusted and remedied...

 

Here's my smallest fish, a bright little female brownie

I also caught a few nice steelhead

Great photos, Graham! One of these days I'm gonna have to make it up there to join you guys. It's only an eight-hour drive to get there from where I live, yet I've never fished the Ontario tributaries.

 

If I were you, I'd shop a few of those shots to Fly Fisherman, American Angler, etc. I'd almost guarantee you'd make some sales.

Great to see you back Graham! Looks like you had a killer trip this year fishing for them Browns! Nothing beats spending time fishing with good friends, especially when the fishing is hot and the scenery is beautiful!

 

Great job on the pics. Those lake-run browns are spectacular. I hope to catch my first Huron lake-run brown this year...
