Thank you all for the nice words. Very kind.
Got this really great note today at work. To whom the ananymous sender is, I apoligize this wasn’t a more thurough fishing report.
I also apoligize that I didn’t think to post this in the photography section, instead of in your words, “hogging space on the reports page.”
So in order to appease, here is your report.
In this last series of posts:
If fish was a brown trout and had a simliar backdrop to this –
it was caught in Oregon. My friends mostly tossed nymphs and small midges under indicators on nine foot leaders.
I threw mostly streamers for fish like this one: Gallup patterns in size six to eight. Sorry for the picture quality the shot was blown.
If the background was snowy and fish was a rainbow like this, it was caught in Idaho.
There is a hint in the frame, can you catch it? We used coper johns until an epic midge hatch came off and we tossed harop dries at them for a few hours.
So if the shots were on a small stream then it was a tiny thread in Arizona – shots that looked like this: (we used something really tricky on five foot leaders to 4x- wooly buggers) Ought weight rods…..
If you saw big Canyon walls it was Lee’s Ferry… nine foot rods, six x leaders, nine plus feet long. Midges 22s to 24s. Sorry no real cool canyon shot here – but I like this picture from the lodge we stayed at right there.
My son’s spot are top secret, you don’t want him ticked at you. So sorry no big report there. cough cough(salt river) not worth your time.
cough some more cough cough( bass pond)
If Wall Mart was stage left, we fished the Animas, but even if I give you what we used it won’t help. We got skunked.
Last spot was San Juan River, nine foot rods five weight and less. Nine foot leaders, streamers mostly in the afternoon and dries in the am. Beatis and midge dries 24.
To whom ever you were, I hope this appeases your need to send nasty-grams to my work email account. That is pretty not-coolio.
To those of you who sent nice ones, they made me smile.
Out.
Aaron,
Awesome work, as usual. If you ever find the time, I would love to talk with you regarding your work in post. As far as the unnamed giving you hell, especially at work, sorry bro. Sadly, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to believe in or respect some sense of decorum.I have been hurting for years to get to Farmington; maybe when I finally can work it, I’ll give you a call.
Superb round of photos man and some creative angles! What a pig Apache, beautiful! I gotta swing down that way again for another serving. Keep em’ flowing…
Awesome, Aaron. I always like the cameos of your boy. Those would make my day as a dad. Great memories.
Seriously aaron, that stuff is wicked good. I love the idea of the canyon shots, and the colors in all the shots are great, makes me think i need a D700, but i doubt that’s going to make that big of a difference.
I’ll pile on for the circle of applause for the photos. Definitely top notch.
A little early marketing?
But then there’s this…
My son’s spot are top secret, you don’t want him ticked at you.
I was gonna say wow… this is a joke, right? The ultimate in irony? But then I realized I totally skipped the second sentence.
So sorry no big report there. cough cough(salt river) not worth your time.
cough some more cough cough( bass pond)I thought we were almost on the verge of the apocalypse.
