Curtis! What have we told you about fishing to trout on the spawn? :P
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

That was an interesting 'mistake' that came out pretty cool. I had mistakenly set the camera on shutter priority and it was a bit slow. I also had it on auto-flash. The result made the water look like smoke (or fish juice...).

Some awesome pics and truly impressive fish so far.

I've been fishing a ton since I moved back to Utah from Socal last spring. Here are a couple brownies I caught this summer.

Entry #1: One of my faves

Entry #2: This one was During the ORIGINAL 9 MANNER!

This one is NOT for the Contest, I just wanted to share it.
I took this because I saw this beautiful BIG brookie at my feet and I could not get it to take a fly, when I downloaded it, I was surprised to see the little brown hovering nearby....can you see it?

If you click on the pic, you will get a better view.
