1st spring trip

Spring: Just a few days ago we ventured on our first spring trip. Yes, this is mid-March, and we usually fish much earlier than that, but cold winter weather and ice covered water has kept us from the coast until now. I spotted this particular day in the weather forecast a week in advance. It begged for a fishing trip!

Pictures of nature

Better pictures: Don't forget that fishing is many other things than anglers, fish and casting. The animals we see, the landscapes, the flowers and all the little details that help make a day by the water a great day – even without catching fish!
This article tells you how to get better nature photos.

More about "Better fishing pictures: Weather"

Shoot the weather

Better pictures: How do you frame wind? How is snow captured best? How do you protect your camera when you try to freeze a shower into a single image? No, it's not at all easy to get the impression of weather into that piece of mechanics and electronics we call a camera.

Jim Roszel

Fishy Art: "I have been an artist and fisherman my entire life. I realized a few years ago after catching a giant striped bass that I wanted a way to remember the fish so I painted the fish life-size with all of the details of the catch." says painter Jim Roszel.

A new breed

In motion: Fly fishing videos have gone through an amazing development during the last five years. Once the recipe was simple: get hold of a couple of seasoned anglers, hook up with some upscale lodges and some guides needing some marketing and... action!
But that doesn't cut it anymore!

Bent Rods

Better pictures: This might be considered a strange and kind of exotic photography subject to write a whole article about, but looking at the images that my fishing friends and I shoot, I can see that it's a very popular thing to shoot. As soon as a fish is hooked, we rush to the scene, and get quite a few bent rod pictures.

Clear Water

Better pictures: We all love these shots of stunningly clear water. Streams, lakes even the ocean can appear almost ethereal in the way that the bottom is visible in your shot. How do you best shoot these images, which let's the freshness and clarity of the water come out in the final picture?

Sean Seal

Fishy art: "I really can't pin down exactly when I started doing artwork. I've always done it." These are the words of Sean Seal when presented with the question “how did it start?”. Based in Bay City, Michigan, which is not exactly “a fly fishing paradise” as he says, he has still taken on fly fishing as a subject for his art.
