This was an awesome day! For Tim it was landing a great fish on a skating dry. For me it was pushing through photographic barriers such as weather ( yes it always rains ) and making memorable images. Also spending time on the water with friends is a nice break from dawn trudges to epic vantage points solo. We truly live in paradise! At least my paradise as I actually like the rain!
Enjoy!

Awesome Day On The Water

Spent the other day shooting and fishing with buddy's, working and having a day off on the same day, go figure. The river was high but slowly dropping and clearing a little, lots of chrome Chum showing up during tide shifts. The cool thing was they were actually biting big nasty flies swung on light sink tips. After the bite they would rip out and jump earning the reputation of being the poor mans Steelhead. The photo trick for today was to keep the camera dry as it rained most of the day. Rap that thing up in plastic and shoot through the storm! Real rain coast style!
I shot a ton of photos but the above three were my faves. Enjoy!
