I thank you very much, Hal81.

It's amazing that the fly line shows up better than the rod. Especially in the picture of the fisherman standing in the water. Even though you probably took these in Idaho, they remind me of my fishing for sockeyes on the Kenai River in Alaska. As usual I like seeing your pictures. Do you live close to a river or a lake?

I live close to many large lakes and two rivers, so I just drive 2-3 miles to the closest lake. Fishing and hunting are
big business up here. North Idaho is 85% forest with the greatest concentration of large lakes in the Northwest area
of the USA. The fishing line caught the rays of the Sun.

I thank you very much, Bud, for your great comment.

as a passionate angler myself, these photos make me dream away.
The first one gives me sensation of being in those waders, feeling the excitement when that fly hit the water surface.

Beautiful Regis

That lake being the small lake at the end of the main drag in town (or just on the way out-can't remember the name)?

My neighbor across the hall used to fish that lake 3-4 times a week after he got off teaching in town. He did OK, and then had some company from CA. He took the couple fishing, and the lady latched into a 24 inch large mouth Bass (7 plus pound as I recall). Everybody knew Bruce fished that lake heavily, but had never taken anything like that out of the lake. Bruce insisted that he carry the Bass from the boat to the car.

He was into taxidermy and mounted that Bass and shipped it to the lady after he was done with it. He presumed to have bragging rights while it was in his possession.

Is that the lake you mention 2-3 miles to get to?

These are really lovely. I particularly like the first one. It has beautiful lighting. The colours in the background are quite nice. The reflection is really nice. I even like the twigs that are poking into the foreview. It's sort of like we're peeking at the fisherman. Nicely done.
