the guys from Confluence Films are pros,they really enjoy thier work,and it shows.With 16 inches of snow in two days,I am missing Venezuela about now…wish they would mail me another plane ticket and a mission.

Went out to take some images the other day,not much with the
trout,but this mountain bluebird was sitting on the snow next to me,eating midges off the snow.
(Sialia currucoides)

Darin-I got 4 takes on yellowjackets that day,lotsa hoppers too,it was
really windy,and the trout were looking for the big bugs.
Some more hoppers….

Johns Redtail shots were inspiring,went digging on an external
harddrive…Birds…

[jason jagger]

Beatiful images John,your panning skills are great.Raptors are great,they are as hard to photograph without a blind.Freehand?
Are you a Canon or Nikon guy?

my local tailwater opens April 1,looking forward to that.Hopefully not
too much algae.Some more insight…

john-the 100-400mm is the one I use the most,but also a 70-200mm
w/1.4x teleconvertor.I’ve tried the extension tubes,makes the AF
sluggish,and you lose an aperture or two.I try and use nonIS
lenses,or turn it off,prefer a monopod.No filters,(sometimes a circ. polarizer) no hoods,let the light in!
Here are some bonefish/pelican shots from venezuela,competition
at its finest,minnows lose both ways.

Mike-volume is an effective tool-take thousands,get 5.Learn how close
you can get to a fish without a flyrod,and still be comfortable,sitting
preferably.Hope for a hatch,hope the rocks aren’t as hard as the last
place,and once in your spot-don’t move for hours.
The minimum focusing distance on your lense is important-expensive
prime lenses in 300mm plus can only start to focus after 12-15ft.They are tack sharp on the football field,but its hard to see a BWO from 6 yards.

Thanks Tim,and Corey-congrats on the Midcurrent piece.
I’m from northwest Colorado,been guiding some,still seasonally.I
always wanted to get images that were different,but still represented
our sport.
Here are some from last October…

[jason jagger]

Zach sorry,I was in a hurry…First one is on a pond,eating callibaetis,all
the rest are on a tailwater,mostly this fall.I think the first one was on Catchmagazine,but the rest are not published.
I posted a thread on the drake,and will try and not duplicate it?
