Being Ready, Being Lucky

Just spent a most pleasant and memorable 6 days with family and friends; I managed to take some 400 pictures, hoping for at least 100 to be publishable.

I'm just getting to these and here's one I have made into a poster that I like a lot.

Unbeknown to Mac, I came across this photo. Yup, it's Mac on one of his fishing adventures.

The reason I hear that he hasn't published it, is because the fish took him two out of three falls.Smile.gif

The Infamous Hairy Pickerel.

They make great flies for Musky fishing.

Working on another same fisherwoman, different shot.

Maybe tomorrow.

BTW, I watched this young woman catch fish-after-fish; very skilled and I thought she was rather pretty even sweet and somewhat elegant in her waders, cap and backpack. She never looked around to gloat, flaunt, show off just hooked rainbow trout, landed and released them without handling them. Her demeanor was calm, controlled and a pleasure to observe.

If I were fifty years younger and single I would have introduced myself. But alas, I have just her picture and of course, the memory of her superb fly fishing ability.
