Photo Call for OrvisNews.com

[Phil Monahan]

Hey y’all,

Haven’t been around these parts for awhile (damned jobby-job), but I’m on the hunt for some images for use on the OrvisNews.com fly fishing blog.

1. A beautiful shot of a trout redd or redds. Can have a trout in it or not.

2. A driftboat with two anglers casting out of it.

3. An angler in the midst of making an upstream mend.

Also, we want to run a “Photo of the Week,” which could be an image of literally anything to do with fly fishing. This might be a way to use some of those shots you think are super-cool but don’t fit any how-to, where-to application that the magazines are looking for.

Payment for use on the Web is (gulp!) $50. I started in this business at Outdoor Life, where we paid $1500 for a cover, then dropped down to American Angler, where we paid $600 for a cover, and now I’m working on the Web, where we pay $50 a pop for photos. Dunno where I go from here.

Thanks,

Phil

Ill throw in 3 for the pic of the week topic. Im partial to the first to be honest. Not my best image either aesthetically, however a very special moment for me and my new fiance. 3 weeks ago on a N. GA. small stream through a mile of rhodo. We were “brookie fishing”!

not sure if you have seasonal requirement but heres a decent upstream mend shot

/ps I can easily remove the watermark if you choose it Phil

Two shots of brookies on redds,

and your random flyfishing shot.

[Eric DeWitt]

Anything goes…

This could maybe be upstream mend too..

Or maybe some tarpon action…

You already ran one from this series, but her’s another for the mend.

Phil,

It’s a little late, but here’s some shots for your request. There’s much more on my website. I’ll PM you.

I’ll throw my hat in with a couple for the ‘photo of the day’ theme you’ve been running lately.  All are from the North Island, NZ.

Tim –

If I may say so, if you had left the flies in those fishes’ mouths, I suspect those would be cover shot candidates for the magazines.

[Tim Angeli]

Thanks Zach, I appreciate the advice.
