You could also road trip with them to Dry Run Creek in Arkansas.  I have a buddy that drives up for the weekend from Dallas several times a year to fish with us.  Dry Run Creek is a kid’s only trout stream with some real pigs in it and definitely will keep the kid’s interested (and is free).  There is a campground right next to it on the Norfork river.

(Caution…proud dad photos…)

(6yo Parker caught the rainbow on a worm tied by my 7yo daughter, I don’t know who was more excited.)

I will also add, that the kids don’t need waders to fish Dry Run as they have put some nice walking stones along the stream for the kids.  Definitely a neat place to take kids to keep them interested in the fishing.

I am headed down on Saturday with my 7yo daughter again.

Just got the pack in the mail.

Dave, I can’t really tell you about the class because neither of us have taken it.

My wife put a GPS Receiver for the Nikon D200 under the tree for me.

I have wanted one for vacations and landscape photography.

Since Phil has some experience outside of the fly-fishing mags, I thought I would throw a couple of different whitetail photos up.  If the podcast is going to be solely limited to fly-fishing, just delete this post.

Thanks,
Matt Tucker

My biggest gripe is the lack of fishing clothing for the big and tall guys.

[Matt Tucker]

Buy one of the small little flexipods (e.g. Joby, etc) for your point and shoot and set your point and shoot on the timer setting (keep fish in net and set camera attached to tripod) down on the rock and push shutter.

I use a Joby Gorilla Pod SLR Zoom model with the Joby Ball Head and haven’t had any issues with it using my D200 and Tokina 11-16 2.8 or Tokina 28-70 2.8.

I am kind of surprised that nobody mentioned the new Sage Typhoon packs that are going to be released in Jan/Feb.

(Here is a Review of the Large Waist Pack)

or the Sage Typhoon Backpack

They are expensive, and i do wish they had a roll-top option, but they look intriguing.

I originally bout a Pelican 1550 (see earlier post) but found it was larger than i wanted in the boat, so also bought a Pelican 1450.

[Matt Tucker]

I have a D70 and the primary lens that I have on it is a Tokina 28 – 70 2.8.

I went to undergrad in Kirksville, Missouri (Truman State Univ), mainly because that was close to one of our deer leases.

Nice Photos!

[Matt Tucker]

Thanks for the replies guys.

[Matt Tucker]

I ordered a used D200 from KEH today.

[Matt Tucker]

After assessing how much “crap” I can actually get in the 1550 this weekend, I have decided I definitely need to find something smaller.

[Matt Tucker]

Guys I really appreciate the input.

[Matt Tucker]

i do alot of whitetail deer photography and have been reading about the auto focus a bit.

[Matt Tucker]

I am already working on the glass (going to be picking up the Tokina 11-16 very soon) and have enough faster glass to get by.
