Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

With the recent warmish weather we've been having here the ice jams on the Susquehanna River are breaking up. I just had to stop and take a picture...

My thoughts exactly! I know photographers with $2000 DSLRs that don't shoot many pictures that look that good. This just proves it's the content not the equipment.

Eric,
Any post production or special modes that you used. I am awed by the dynamic range you were able to capture.

I used Photoshop express to do a little noise reduction, cropped and straightened the photo and boosted the vibrance a little.

Re: Jim Morrison..."The West is the Best" 1995 Madison River 23.5" Brown. Eric Swedman & Spence 1995 Eric Shores with Spence's torpedo Brown...Who loves wild trout?! Why do we all have one of these shots? Rod in mouth? This shot was for the Michigan Fly Fishing Club because the Loomis rod there I won at my first club meeting after I had paid my dues. Madison River Bow 1995...Took a size 16 Bill Monahan version of a Partridge Caddis...What a healthy specimen! Yellowstone Park Elk...I'm on the opposite bank of a skinny raging little creek and I could not get him to lift his head for the shot. I'm jumping up and down shouting etc and finally! I bet he's happy I'm a vegetarian!

Re: Part #4 of Spencer's Trip: Penn's Creek This is the B&B Fly shop where we camped out, The Feathered Hook...Nice collection of cane rods and a guy that has a shop out back where he makes rods. Eric wanted to buy a used rod that was going for $1,100 and I almost bought another Hardy. This man isn't having any fun! Can you tell? Here I am trying out my new wading staff...I never felt stable the whole afternoon...but who cares...We had fish sucking in Henny's. We caught so many fish in this range we lost count. If you want to put a smile on Eric's face, go out and catch some trout Spence, damn it! I'll let him tell you about the magic rock...I promise you he won't tell you where it is.
