Just curious:) – is there much call these days for the—- ” I,ve been thrashing the water to a foam for 5 hours without a single take- I think i,m ready to spend the next 4 hours trying to take cool pics with no expectation of success”
There is a rumour and that’s all it is that a Sony full frame sensor DSLR is up next. The A100 out now is an entry level DSLR 10.3 MB .
Sony’s absorbtion of Minolta was a very smart move , giving them the 5d ( basis for the A100?) and 7d ( may be the basis for the full frame?) and a lens mount to play with.
If the rumour comes to fruition I personally would be very interested, as my experience with the DSC R1 10.3 MB has been superb . It does however lack in the macro dept. so a solid 10 MB + DSLR complement

Bryan-
From the start of the split till it was fully out, maybe 70-80 seconds. Then another 30 -40 secs or so of wing drying/unfurling and repositioning to classic stonefly wing position. Pretty fast:)
Glad you enjoyed them:)
Drifter- Sony DSCR1 with a little fill flash .
Need to spend some time playing with them in my image editor next:)

Zach, it’s funny you mention Yellow Dog, as a good friend of mine used to guide at Breckenridge Outfitters with Ian and Cale. I’ll have to get in touch with my friend and try to hook something up. I’ve made the trip out west when I graduated high school with my school’s fly fishing club (http://www.familytyes.com) and it was truly a blast, and I’m really looking forward to getting out there to hit some new water. It looks like we are going to have great flows too! If you end up in the Lamar valley, be sure to run up the Soda Butte, you won’t be disappointed.
There is a usefull look at the process here

certainly offers a lot of flexibity in manipulating tone.

PoudreRiver,
Thanks — good to be here. I’ve actually been lurking for awhile. This is a great board. Doesn’t Zach do a great job? It’s one thing to enjoy the sport of flyfishing. It’s quite another to make it more enjoyable for others. Zach has a knack for doing just that, especially using info tech/multimedia in so many interesting ways (e.g., images, video, this board, and good, old-fashioned writing). Hat’s off to him.
Always run good to run into somebody with MI roots. As for the Au Sable, yes, I do fish it — this past week, in fact. Beautiful, beautiful river. I fished the Holy Waters upstream from Gates (at Thendara), and I fished the North Branch.
To be honest, I’ve really taken to the Manistee River these past few years, especially upstream from Grayling (e.g., Deward). For the first time, I fished upstream from Mancelona Rd., at the headwaters. Wild and beautiful.
In fact, these past few years, I’ve found myself pushing farther and farther upstream, into the headwaters and creeks with which these great rivers begin — for the beauty, for the solitude. Hence, my acquisition of the Scott F 703/3.
I’m familiar with your neck of the woods. I have family in Loveland (serious outdoorsmen). I’ve admired both the Poudre and the Big Thompson, though I’ve never had a chance to fish either. Likewise, some of the water up near Walden — admired it, though without having the opportunity to fish it.
Thanks again for your note.
Don
