mickberry Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 No advertising intended. For viewing pleasure only. Mike Kemp shoots photography for lifestyle/outdoor magazines. You may recognize some of his work on Alberta 2011 hunting regs. He made his way up to Alberta last year and spent a week fishing the bow, and other southern Alberta rivers. Though an outdoors man, Mike was not to familiar with the fly fishing game. The best part of the trip was teaching Mike how to cast, nymph, and catch fish. He caught the fever and once he was hooked it was a tough choice whether to pick up the fly rod or the camera. I respect professional photographers/artists who make a living capturing these moments. They are always at the mercy of mother nature, and have small windows to capture that "hero" shot. We were up at 5:00 am daily to catch the morning light stayed past dark for those twilight hours. I guess in a way we, photographer and fly fisherman, are similar creatures. We are both willing to go to extreme measures to take pictures and catch fish. Please do not use photos without consent. Enjoy, Mike's work on 2011 Alberta Hunting Regs. One of Mike's Bow River bows A few of the fish we caught The Duck Hunt J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandi Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Indeed, early mornings and late evenings are often best for both photog & fishing and one might give up some fish for great photos, like these!
