that is, until I hit the dirt or water.
D.Thanks guys. Dusty, the last part of your quote above is what I’m talking about. I was wondering if anyone knows of a magic bullet; one unit that will cover roads and trails/water as a catch all.
Zach, I agree completely with the philosophy of simply upgrading units every 3-4 years for the car. My wife recently paid a lot of money to update the maps in her old Garmin unit and we could have bought a new unit for the price of the map.
Thanks Zach. That’s what I thought. BTW, your recent articles on GPS are very helpful, not to mention seeing you in action on the trails with your own GPS. I will probably just buy a car unit for now because I really don’t have the time to hit the unmarked trails anyway. However, it sure would be nice to have a mobile unit.
Mark, as a former environmental scientist I can clarify that the PBS series, while intriguing, is more of a general water pollution piece.
I feel like not that much cool stuff has happened since my last update
TimI can’t let that quote go by unnoticed. I count 13 fish pictures and freedom dripping from every shot. Dude, this is the coolest stuff there is . . . 😀 ;D 😮

The only thing I have found is that I don’t use it that much. I may be getting a carbon monopod to travel with. I can see myself using it more often when fishing.Brett, you don’t need a monopod. Just keep the legs closed on that Gitzo and it becomes a functional monopod. Trust me . . . you don’t need anything other than that little beauty you got.
Aaron, if Brett Hoskins doesn’t chime in on this post then drop him a PM. He has a very sweet Gitzo travel tripod which I’m guessing is the same as David’s. It is as light as a feather and folds down to fit in a travel bag or even a briefcase. It is a bit wably but given the weight/size it is one of the best travel tripods I’ve seen. I used it on a recent trip with Brett and loved the equipment. BTW, it is very expensive, darn! :'(
My main tripod is a Manfrotto Pro 255 with a geared head for macro work.
Lee, no oooops required. Fly fishing and photography are both personals and you are putting your own puzzle together. That’s what I meant. You will need this release more and more as time goes by. Fishing is important and putting the pieces together is like a mental release that you will always have. I know that sounds cliche but it is true as anything ever said. Very few people are lucky enough to have a passion or hobby and it really does help prevent burnout in our crazy profession.

URL09_7683 – – – photo 40 (of 97) is awesome Matt!
There is soooo much going on in that image; the feeling of movement, rushing water, the eye in focus, the fly standing out, depth, emotion, and much more. I love that photograph.
