[Doubletap]

My first Van Isle Dolly Varden.

 

A bevy of healthy stream resident Cutthroat.

 

Wet wading on a fine summers day.

 

I'm looking forward to the fall season and wish you all great luck with yours!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like some great fishing. Might have to spend a little more time out there. Might be out there in mid October in the Qualicum Beach area. Any suggestions for fishing around that time. Thanks

Thanks guys - appreciate your kind words!

Its a little out of my neck of the woods, and as its more populated, I rarely go south when I go fishing, I'm afraid! Stop in at a local tackle store and they will no doubt know whats fishing where. Best of luck, to ya!

 

I dig the macro of the eye....

 

Yeah, my girlfriend asked me to get some macro shots for some paintings she was working on - fish "skin" really is pretty - here are a few more.

 

 

I didn't know what she was working on, exactly - then got this for my birthday! Its 14''x18'' oil on canvas and I love it!

 

It was done from one of the prettiest Cutties I hit this summer.

Yeah, she wields a paint brush with skill, there is no doubt!

 

The Cuttie will be available once it gets digitalized - but first I need to find a frame that will accept the Elk Hair Caddis I caught it on.

 

In the mean time, perhaps you Bow River anglers might prefer one of her other works?

 

If you're interested, you might like to have a look through her website for some options - they are all pretty fishing-den friendly - ha ha!

 

Amu Designs - Prints and customs.

 

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Thanks for that. Its a Canon S3 IS and does a pretty good job - especially in the macro dept. Its almost time to upgrade to the S5 IS, though!

Thanks for that, Courtney.

 

My girlfriend wanted me to thank you again for the gratis casting lesson you gave her this afternoon, at the Haig Brown festival. You're a good teacher and it really helped her form.

 

We're West-bound in the morning to see whats swimming in the Tahsis, the Gold and the Heber tomorrow - and shes looking forward to putting her new-found knowledge to good use.

 

Huw.
