Yeah, piss yellow and dung brown just don’t do anything for me either. B&W all the way.
Matt, you’ve got a great eye for … what am I saying? It’s an outhouse, man!
Just kidding big time of course guys … ;D
Nice photo. I’ve seen something like this before with some daffodils or apple blossoms in color and everything else black and white. A real eye popper. Might be worth another trip this week Matt if anything is in bloom by the outhouse. I drove a backroad yesterday that had the most dogwoods I have ever seen in one place and the lighting was spectacular. Unfoturnately I was with a customer and couldn’t stop for photos. Now just a memory on the backroads of my mind
Seth. My experience with the hatches on the White River is it depends on the hatch and its intensity and stage. The sulphurs are a slow to hatch mayfly. Typically, the fish eat the nymphs just as they are coming into the surface film. All of the stomach samples I have taken during the prime part of the hatch each day show they nymphs are spliting cases and actually emerging in the fish’s stomach having been taken well before they actually emerge.
However, as the hatch comes to a close, there are more duns available riding the surface, and the fish begin to feed on them more. The hatch can actually cycle on and off several times a day especially on overcast, cool days, so the duns are more important then since the shorter cycles may mean the fish see more opportunities to eat the duns when that happens.
I suppose too, just as is the case with humans, individual fish tastes vary, and there are those who are more fond of duns and cripples.
On caddis however, the fish follow the caddis in well defined stages. Early in the morning the caddis pupa begin to drift and you will see the fish flashing on the bottom and feeding heavily. As the morning progresses, they follow the pupa into the water column higher. By noon, they are taking emergers and beginning to take a few adults. Once that happens start getting the dries ready, because they will be eating the adults within the hour or so.
This is characteristic of the truly large hatches, but it becomes more difficult to assess what will work best when with smaller, more sporadic hatches. Also, a hatch can cycle on and off quickly or show a more prolonged development depending on conditions that day.
That is simply gorgeous:))) what a wonderfull way to get around on water-. Since I was born in Scotland I may have to think about building one of these-

I found some synthetics I thought would make a good pattern, but after experimenting with them found it’s not what I want. Still looking for a good combination of materials with the color I want.
You might try Kelly Galloup’s T&A Rainbow pattern.

Well, since your catering to a bunch of rich people who don’t mind paying a premium to fish, or shop I guess, (seeing how this is a “members only” fly shop), I would carry Action Optics. I wear the Guide’s Choice model, (got’em at an employee discount), great lense choices in glass and plastic. They aint cheap but…
Action Optics by Smith. Glass.
Have had two pair in 12 years of use. Polycarb still usable as backup. I still prefer the pilot frames. Glass with 2x diopters are my main glasses. Have sent back for repair of frames once (my fault, but no charge) and had to order replacement nose guards a couple of times (no charge). Service is great, easy to deal with via email. Quality of product superb.

Hi
The bulbs are generally available at your local photo store. The swing arm lamps came from Staples.
The drawback of all this is, the lamps get hot!!!! and seem to work best if all connected to a power bar and turned off

Ya’ll hashed this out pretty well, but thought I’d add that any metadata or file properties like EXIF or IPTC info can be deleted from the file. However, it is possible to add digital watermarks which imbed themselves into the data of the image. The image can then be tracked on the internet to some degree. The software and services to do so, however, seem cost prohibitive for most casual photography.

Great stories. I’ve ever only seen one griz in the wild and that was in Denali.
On the way to Alaska in 2004, we stopped to eat a picnic supper just a 150 feet off the Alaska Highway in the Yukon and found this after we ate. At another stop we saw fresh scat. Sure gets you looking over your shoulder, and makes you wonder what you would do if you had a break down and help was hours away. We helped one couple that were on a new 100th anniversary edition Harley. His throttle cable stop had come off, and they were stranded.
At Liard Hot Springs we wanted to go to the upper springs to see the rare orchids that they have there. In August they close it because a man and woman were eaten by a grizz a few years ago. The grizzlies move into the area to feed on berries and other things.
They also have huge black bears. The owners of the combo campgrounds/gas stations/restaurants regularly shoot bears that come into the campgrounds and don’t go away.
Different kind of world up there.
