An Old Icon..

Absolutely for a polarizer. But as dryfly said I don't use it in low light either. I can't remember exactly but I believe it takes 2 f-stops of light down (??), which is a bit much sometimes. Great for glare, and skies especially (As dryfly's amazing skies show..) Definitely get one, or a filter of some sort as its alot cheaper to replace a broken polarizer than a broken lens if you drop, stumble with, or fall in the river with your gear as much as I do...like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel.. I am almost embarassed to post pics now but for examples why not..

That about sums up my thoughts..

Beauty pics.

Awesome pics.

Always myself, even though I drive company wheels. Like you said, nonsense like that with fill caps, etc. and the prospect that the damn thing will break down in the middle of nowhere as a result. With me being the one Munsoned (just watched Kingpin again) in the middle of nowhere.... I'd rather know it was my fault.

Tried out a video camera on the last few outings. Miraculously it survived, as I fell in the river with it 3 or 4 times. Forgive the camera shake, got into the Crown/Wine the one night and wasn't feeling too stellar,(or steady) most of the next day. Not really familiar with the camera (didn't even have it recording most of the time apparently) or Youtube yet, and it doesn't hold a candle to Humble's vids for sure, but if you've got about 10 minutes to kill here it is... (Camera HD so use High Quality)

Yep, fairly safe bet there are no branches in that guy's family tree... Hilarious vid.

I could think of a few choice quotes from Melville to describe that one... Awesome fish, and love your vids man..

Here we go... Guess I can stop reading this thread now.

1/0 hook right to the bend in the forearm. Chuckin' weighted streamers for pike on a windy day, and got it on the backcast. Had a hell of a time getting it out as the barb was pinched but there was just enough of a bump to catch under the skin.. creative use of a set of forceps eventually got it out.

Here's mine..

Looking forward to some fall days down there... Sweet pics.

That was very refreshing. Thanks, and beauty pics. I haven't been on this site for very long but already I've noticed exactly what you're talking about (obviously...) It's depressing. I love to get out with friends into beautiful surroundings, possibly catch a few fish, take a few pics, and post and share them with like-minded people. I do not enjoy the slug-fests so many of them seem to turn into, thats for damn sure. And lately it's been making me think twice about even posting anymore also...

Thanks Brad. It seems to me that alot of guys like to hide behind the relative anonymity provided by these posts.... And BTW Tako, get your hands on a good dictionary. If you're going to use words like that in a post make sure you know how to spell them properly first....

Awesome pics. Thanks for the inspiration...

You know it man...

One more.

A polarizer (filter) is the key.. Really makes clouds and sky pop. Thanks man..

Probably get heat for this too...

Very religious..
