Well the fishing was terrible Saturday morning. I caught one stinking fish and nobody else on the river was catching a thing. Oh well a bad fishing day on the river is way better than a good day at home. I did come home with some images though.

I love the Little Red in the morning...A nice ethereal view of the river...I often ending up with a camera in my hand instead of a fishing pole in my hand too Matt! :smile:

Hey Matthew, I really like this. It has a sepia feel to it. A slight crop from the top would make it even stronger.

It seems that we always catch more scenery up there than fish. Karla and I had hundreds of trout swimming under our feet a few weeks ago and I only caught one. We're both newbys to flyfishing. We used to catch more back when we were bank fishing.

You caught a nice scenic wave of swirling fogbank! Makes me want to head up there! Good job! Looks like a good water level to enjoy a slow day of trolling.

Love this scene, very peaceful, calm feeling to it. I would agree with Tom, maybe a slight crop off the top would make it even better.

This is cropped a little but I agree, a little more crop would look better.

very peaceful, I've done a lot less fishing since I took up photography

Beautiful!

Very serene and peaceful. A little off the top makes sense, maybe just down to where the light illuminates the trees in the bg (which are reflected in the river). Wonderful mood.

This is a great image. This could easily sell to a stock photo site, but I'd hold on to it.

Thanks everyone. Yea Aaron I think I am going to hold on to it on my wall.

What a lovely scene. Nicely captured and processed.
