Report for 5/24

The fishing today was, in a word, HARD. I threw everything in my box at them and nothing (almost nothing, did manage to land 3 bows). Nobody around me was catching anything either so I didn't feel too bad about the situation. But later that afternoon, I attended the Steve Dally School of Photography at the Beaver Dam store. Steve presented a very cool Powerpoint seminar on how to take better nature/wildlife photos. He did not discuss the nuts and bolts topics like adjusting f-stop and shutter speeds, etc., but rather some simple, fundalmental techniques on taking better photos in outdoor conditions and how to use lighting properly. He gives you a holistic view of wildlife photography. Anyone who owns a camera and likes to photograph outdoors should attend this session. Just have a look at these two examples taken this morning:

ecce38, I was there too. I did very good on Saturday, fished a couple of hours. Only an hour on Friday and Sunday, but I was able to land a few fish.

This was my first time to fish this area, and I liked it. Coming back for sure. I did have a little problem at the Dam Site Park camping area. My kids came running out of the tent screaming their heads off. While they were changing clothes in the tent, 3 guys were watching them from the underbrush. I was able to corner them, and locate a park ranger, with some help. Needless to say, the kid's didn't sleep rest of the night. As well as myself. I did get to enjoy a nice rain though.

Nice photos Patrick _ I love these misty mornings Thanks for the kind words. I'll probably do it again in fall

Russ sorry to hear about the strange goings on _ not usual in these parts they must have been imports

Guided Monday morning fishing was GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD

Bud got 30-40 on soft hackles then hot-wire prince, Patty was a first timer but after casting lesson started getting takes then caught her first trout on fly and then probably another 7-8.

No special places, just two of the most heavily fished spots on the river.

who says its hard
