Small Creek Weekend

[Aaron Otto]

Spent some time with friends and family this weekend.  

No assignments, just spending time.  Took a lens along, to capture the moments. Hard light shots, with no strobe. Please forgive the flattness.

My friend casting gin clear water, long leaders my friends,long leaders.

These pools were deeper then they appear.  Allowing us to get right on top of their smallish resident fins and cast.

A tiny suprise in a trout stream.

Allowed shots at some of her residents, we managed to raise a few.

Tony, Rob, Hudson, Bailey and myself spent the day hiking, and enjoying each other’s company. In a place as beautiful as this, it’s hard not to just sit back, and enjoy.

A closing shot from the car. On the way home.

Until next week, I’m off to the catch Gilas.

Another set of fine shots there, Aaron. I am so looking forward to getting back on small waters again.

Thanks.

What type of bass did you all catch, and type type of fly did he strike?

[lawrence underwood]

Thanks, Aaron.  That is one of my favourite places to fish. I miss Arizona.  Well, actually I miss the mountains, the Rim, and several other places.  I don’t miss Phoenix.  Way too big for me.

Purty plateaus right there.

Did you give the smallie the woods release?

[john michael white]

Gorgeous country Aaron!  You continue to change my thoughts about what Arizona looks like…..it’s not all desert! 😀  Kind of like what people think about Texas I guess.  Great Photos as always.

Aaron – What camera gear did you use for the above shots? i.e. body and lens

[Aaron Otto]

Thanks all.

More Window Down Road Side Photography.

Say Hello to my little Friend.

Meet Senoir Rainbow.

This was a kid friendly trip too, Hudson was on my back in this photo. That is Hudson’s Uncle Rob and Cousin Bailey.  They were fishing too.

I know not great shots, sorry hand held wide open.  Please accept the content and look past the lack or skill on my part behind the lens.
