I all, thought I'd do an introduction since I'm brand new to the board. First off my real name is Mike, and I've been fly fishing for 13 years now but have only been successful at it for 8 years. I was compeletly self taught until I hooked up with another friend last year who has filled in my blanks of flyfishing and taught me some great techniques. For the most part I enjoy fishing the backcountry at high elevations where the temps are cooler and usually a snow bank or 2 will provide some nice scenery. Here are some pix of my trips and fishing. Unfortunately I've only had a digital camera for 2 years and do not have a scanner so I am missing some of my personal best fish but some of these are also my best as well.
Me at my home water the Kern River
My personal best brown, both size and beauty
A fat 18" rainbow
These are my best brookies for now 13"
That California Gold is also camera shy, here's my only pic of the golden's I've caught
Where I caught that particular golden
One of my favorite hikes I've done so far
A stormy day makes for a great lake pic
June in the high sierras
My first trip with Zee labor day 07'. He was a lil upset that night cuz I caught the biggest fish that day. He didn't want me to ever tell anyone.....
All of these pics are from August 1st last year till June this year. I only wish I could get more days in fishing than I already do, but I've got to make $$ and yes I do have a schedule like my username indicates which takes time away as well. Hope you enjoy, and I'm looking forward to fishing/meeting more of you.
Mike
