dryfly Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Sunny. No wind. A few nice trout with more than a passing interest in dry flies. Pinch me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenbow Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Good gravy, that is a lovely picture. I won't pinch you even if you paid me, a memory & photo like that deserve to be 'not woken-up from'. Very, very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryfly Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thanks. I liked the picture too. Took three..they can be tricky since you can't be sure you are getting the fish in the picture--blind shooting. Fish needs to be in sun and water has to be clear. This worked okay. A swell day.

PeteZahut Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Beauty pic Clive. I agree, underwater shots are tough due to not knowing how the frame is until after the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esleech Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 OH! Centered pupils! Centered Pupils! Heh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Centered pupils = no stress or DEAD. This one was very alive. Downturned pupils = stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Centered pupils = no stress or DEAD. This one was very alive. Downturned pupils = stress. OHHHHHH! NOW I get what you guys were saying about the centered pupils before! Guess I better go back and check some of my pics.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harps Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Centered pupils = no stress or DEAD. This one was very alive. Downturned pupils = stress. Clive I disagree somewhat. I find downlooking fish are better off. In-water a fish's eyes will be centered especially if you are just releasing it (except some upside down situations). A dead fish will have centered pupils. Out of water a non stressed fish will look down or sometimes will have centered pupils, but I've personally found they look down more often. I find if I get a fish in fast it looks down, if I take longer its eyes are centered... mind you I leave them in the water (turn 'em upside down) more often than not. Alot of fish that I have stressed out have centered pupils when in hand, Out of the Water... except some that looked down. On hot days fish seem to have centered pupils. Maybe it has more to do with disorientation. I guess what I'm really saying is that there is no real correlation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Centered pupils = no stress or DEAD. This one was very alive. Downturned pupils = stress. Never mind the centered pupils- look at the overall expression on that poor trout's face! "The horror...the horror!" I see much counselling in his future, or else possibly "suicide by bulltrout". Shame on you, dryfly! The right thing for you to do now is NEVER fish that area again, and let me know the exact location, so I can go check on that fish and any others you may have traumatized. BTW, awesome pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeman Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Sounds like an awesome time Clive, that's a really great picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Paul .. I am away so can't post images. I assure you that the eyes of totally relax unstressed trout (swimming in a pool) are straight sideways--versus down. Will post images next week. Clive Clive I disagree somewhat.

Weedy1 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Clive, I was taking a closer look at the pic and noticed what looks like something attached to the inside of the right pelvic fin. Old hook? Air bubble? Any idea what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
