BurningChrome Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 Took my buddy and his girlfriend out to a couple mountain streams yesterday. Forgot the camera in the truck for the first one but remembered for the second. Kind of cool to get people into fish on dry flies the first time they pick up a fly rod. 1 Quote
eagleflyfisher Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Is that a tail section from aircraft ? What that all about ? Nice pics !! Quote
BurningChrome Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 Is that a tail section from aircraft ? What that all about ? Nice pics !! It is. It's the remains of an RCAF Dakota that crashed into Mt. Ptolemy in Jan. 1946 killing all 7 aboard. Local forestry service saw the smoke and climbed the mountain. They evacuated the bodies using sleds but the wreckage has been up there since. 1 Quote
BurningChrome Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 A friend and I just got back from an overnight float with Aaron from Fish Tales. It's a new thing he's trying out this year and we got to be the first ones to go out for it. Absolutely fantastic weekend with great company even though the fishing has been tough at times lately.

BurningChrome Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Decided to take an extra day off and make a 4 day weekend for Labour Day so I headed out to the 40 to do some camping and fishing. Left Friday morning before the long weekend rush started. Almost right away I realized I forgot my camera bag by the front door so these are all cell phone pics unfortunately. Stopped on the 532 to air my tires down a bit to smooth out the ride. IMG_20150904_120846 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Nearing the Plateau I saw the first signs that the weather might not be the greatest. IMG_20150904_123138 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr But once I got to the Oldman I forgot about the weather. IMG_20150904_142341 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr After a while I saw a constant stream of 5th wheels heading up the highway and I could see the bad weather heading in. Decided to head to Dutch Creek and grab a campsite. Shortly after dinner the rain started so I hopped in the tent and read for a while before bed. The next morning the rain was still going full on, so I decided instead of packing the tent up wet I'd stay around the campground and fish Dutch Creek. No pictures because of the steady rain. A little after getting back in the tent that night I couldn't hear the rain any more but when I looked outside I realized that was because it had turned to snow. It was obvious the next morning that quite a bit came down at the higher elevations. IMG_20150906_083125 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Pretty decent spot for a provincial campground. Luckily the rain and snow had stopped. IMG_20150904_163952 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Picked up a griddle for my Magma grill and made some bacon and eggs for breakfast. IMG_20150906_085000 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Still some snow around. IMG_20150906_084316 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Hit the Oldman again with low cloud around. IMG_20150906_105143 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Still had the tarp set up in case the weather turned again. IMG_20150906_145731 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Without any rain or snow I grilled up some dinner. Camping plates are too small though. IMG_20150906_173155 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Still some nasty looking clouds hanging around but there was no more rain or snow after Saturday. IMG_20150906_175919 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Stopped by the Cutty Hut after dinner and met Al for the first time. We had some beers and shot the *hit for a while. I ran out of beers and it was getting dark so I headed back to my campsite while it was still light enough to find my way back. Luckily I had more beer in the fridge and some firewood. Pumping out some decent BTUs. IMG_20150906_214340 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr The Magma griddle in action this morning. IMG_20150907_082322 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Frost melting off my trusty old hatchet. IMG_20150907_085309 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr After I packed up camp I headed back to the Oldman to make some new friends. I don't think they were as happy to meet me. IMG_20150907_113924 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr IMG_20150907_131327 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr IMG_20150907_140209 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr IMG_20150907_140220 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr The magic fly. IMG_20150907_143214 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Headed back on the 532 and the view was much different than on the way out Friday. IMG_20150907_153003 by Marc Fossi, on Flickr Sure the weather wasn't the greatest out there this weekend but it sure as hell beat sitting around at home in Calgary or being stuck in traffic on Crowchild. 5 Quote
Caddis Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Very nice photos. Looking at these makes me want to get out there one more time before the white stuff stays for good. Thanks for sharing. Quote

RedBeard Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Awesome pictures Marc. Really dig your "artsy" brown trout pic! Quote
BurningChrome Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 Really dig your "artsy" brown trout pic!You mean the closeup of the scales? That was a mega crop in LR. Pretty impressive for a little mirrorless APS-C sensor since I used to shoot full-frame DSLR. Quote
RedBeard Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 You mean the closeup of the scales? That was a mega crop in LR. Pretty impressive for a little mirrorless APS-C sensor since I used to shoot full-frame DSLR. Definitely does the trick! Great shot! I don't think I could ever give up my full frame though haha.

BurningChrome Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 That's what I used to think but I hardly use my D750 since I got the X-T1. It's so much lighter and easier to carry around and still has awesome image quality. Quote
RedBeard Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Nice man!! Looking forward to seeing more shots! Quote
