Totally see that. 8-)

Reminds me of the man in the tree pic of mine from labor day weekend 2010 from this post:

How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

I was looking west while fishing, hoping to get a good shot of the sunrise. I got a few decent pictures, but the clouds were so thick that the colors never developed as I had hoped. So I kept fishing as it got darker and darker because fish were rising and even though my feet and hands felt like blocks of ice, you just don't leave rising fish. Then I happened to look east towards the White Mtns. and saw the moon coming up.

Oh yeah, this will be my new official submission. I don't think the picture of the leeches (or whatever they were) on my hand was cutting it. :lol:

I know where that fence is.....we did pretty good there earlier this year. Nice photo.

That was an incredible action shot, Curtis. Catching that Rainbow at the exact moment he caught the fly in his mouth. Very cool. :)

WB - that rainbow action shot is 1 in 1,000,000,000 - just an amazing shot. I hope you have that one framed and hanging somewhere ! I'll be the first to say it - and make the prediction... WINNER! :bananadance: :bananadance: :bananadance:

Well seeing as how I will probably not get out again this month, and I have nothing to show for last month, I am going to go with this shot from last week.

Here's one from within the canyon of one of the local streams. Took a break from hooking the little guys and did a little off trail exploring for some photo worthy views yesterday. The yucca stuck me through my waders and jeans, but I didn't notice any leaks!
