My buddy is up from Idaho for a couple days and dying to bring home as much fish as possible, so we've been getting up waaaay before the sun and heading out to the river these last few days. I'm not too interested in fishing, but he's stoked, so that's alright. :D

Limited out the first day - two silvers and a chum each.

Pretty fish the second day.

This is where I got disappointed. I missed a great shot because I was holding my pole instead of my camera. By the time I fixed that issue, the shot was gone. I had perhaps three times the number of fish in this first photo framed nicely with the entire scene bathed in the golden light on the left edge of the second photo. I was bummed that I missed that! :cry Oh well, you can ALMOST get the idea from these lesser shots. :D

    NO JOKE. I wonder how you caught so FEW!? Try a stick of dynamite next time and bring home a truckload. Great shots to get such detail though.clap.gif
