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".

Martin

Hmm, in the golden spot I can see you just managed to strangulate the fish by its tail. 1 to you, dude!

1st spring trip

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!

Breaking the LAW

Martin had a tremendous fly reel breakdown this past season! Upon returning from a fishing trip he did one one the rare maintenance rinses of his LAW-reel, and noticed that the small rubber tube holding the ratchet had cracked. Disaster!

Fly Fishing for Bonefish

This classical bonefish book from 1992 has now been totally revised to reflect the most recent development in bonefishing and has had a well deserved visual overhaul with more color photos and a very nice layout. The book is very hands on and practical in its approach.
