I rather like the picture. Having never caught one, I am envious.

Randon,

While we sure appreciate you comments and ratings to the pictures posted here, please notice that it is the photography we rate - not the fishing ethics.

In the above case I fail to see how the fact that the fly line is loosely draped around the fish' tail can in any way earn this in all ways fine picture a rating of "Not good - This is a bad picture - technically and content wise". It is sharp, well exposed, nicely presented and contains a live fish, which is definitely about to be released. What's the problem with that? My personal rating is a 5 - "A great image in all respects".

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
