    Just getting ’round to posting some shots from last week’s epic trip with WCA,  fellow IA’ers Aaron O. & Jim Lampros, and S. Hemkens of Vermont. Over the top good stuff. Day one was the S. Fk. and the orgasmically obligatory stonefly/caddis/pmd love fest that can be a mid July afternoon in the Rockies.

    We stayed till dark.

    Day 2: Teton Canyon. The slide. 800ft of vertical. Knarley!

    Five+ miles of paradise below.

    Thanks Tim!

    Day 3 was the upper Teton. Beautiful drift with “The Grand” in our background all morning. Nice trout were caught, a double moose sighting was had, and not another boat encountered.

    Excellent!

    A few parting shots. More found on my flickr page in the WorldCast set. Huge thanks to Mike and the WorldCast folks & Steve H. and the big “O” for the hook-up!

    Thanks for viewing and I welcome your feedback as I did more than the usual post. Too much? Let me know.

    Cheers,

    Douglas

    Yes. Jim was pretty much our model/stunt man for the trip. Good people!

    There’s something special about the Tetons from the Idaho side.

    Wow, that’s a cool set of shots, but I have to ask – did you guys slide that raft down into the canyon ?

    A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.

    Great job.  Good to see Hemkens too.  Good dude.  Are these for his outfit’s catalog?

    Zach

    Not exactly. They’re ostensibly for WorldCast Anglers. Anything else would be a bonus =). Steve provided the WCA connection, some fancy duds, and an extra body for the shoot.  Righteous dude fer sure.

    Wow, that’s a cool set of shots, but I have to ask – did you guys slide that raft down into the canyon ?  😮

    Oh yes! Two of ’em. 300 meters of south facing & rattlesnake inhabited gravel scree. Brutal! Took the WCA crew over an hour with the help of ropes, pulleys, anchor points, and leather gloves. At the bottom was a primo stretch of Teton River with nary a human in sight besides us.  Epic!

    Thanks guys for your kind words. I’ve uploaded a bunch more to my Zenfolio page:
