Awesome man-- the conditions look great and I've been dying to get out-- so thanks for the update and the down low on the fly, that's some great info! Right now I have a waterproof cannon so I can keep my camera right in the pocket of my waders or vest. But I used to just leave a camera on the shore downstream of where I was fishing and when I'd fight a fish I'd walk it down to the camera-- or I'd net it and walk to the camera keeping the net in the water... that said I release a lot of fish without pictures and have had many fish flop out of the net before I could take their picture :-)

cheers

I almost forgot. #18 midge , flat thin rubber body with reversed qrapped ultra fine siver wire, dubbed thorax and copper bead. I had a skwalla stone on the dropper with a couple of split shot 10" above the dropper. Got to find a way to take pics with my cannon camera. It's not a water proof camera and I don't want to damage it. By the time I got it out I just wanted to get the fish back in the water and the others I was mid-stream. How do you guys pull off the photography?

Brain,
Great day today. 3 1/2 hrs fished, five fish from 19-21" and 1 monster that I got to my feet that was a solid 23-24 and straightened out my size 18 hook. I had another big go on a screaming run across the river like a summer fish.
