Randon Acts of Photo # 2

RAP

Random Acts of Photo makes it second appearance on Floatfisher this week. It seems these days that everyone is too busy fishing to actually look around and enjoy the surroundings when your  on the ditch, it is not all about the "grip and grins" and the fish. You gotta look around at the sights. It is amazing what you see every day through the lens. Instead of holding the 

fish out to make it look bigger, snap a photo of something else, from a different

perspective.

 The grasses right next to the side channel we were fishing.

 More cowbell, I said More Cowbell, damn it. 

 Reflecting Pool on the Jefferson

 The Chevy's seen better days. 

No matter what river, always a welcome sight, as long as your in the boat. 

To Portage or NOT............ NOT.........

On a recent float we were told we would come across a "low" bridge. You often hear about this, but most times you shrug it off and say we can make it. We proceeded to ask a few more questions and decided we could take off the leaning bar just to be on the safe side.

Up stream side of the "low" bridge. Either side looked or appeared the same height

 Straws were drawn and Ms. Floatfisher would maneuver the bridge. No fast water, just had to line it

up, tuck the oars and duck. As you can see the seat hung up in the middle of the bridge, it was definitely a "low" bridge.

 Ms. Floatfisher looks for her audience, to say she made through. Golf claps were heard through the valley. Just a mere scrap on the top of the seat.

 The overall scene is pretty with the bridge, barn and imposing storm. After all said the storm severely damaged the nearby Bannock State Park and many of its historic buildings.

 Time to pickup the photographer and fisherman.  All in the name of catching nice large fish.

Tuesday Morning Cinema- "Yearning" by Outside Bend Productions

Yearning from Outside Bend Productions on Vimeo.

Wake up and enjoy your morning cup of joe with this nice little flick from Outside Bend Productions. Nothing better than seeing a bunch of rising fish on film, better yet, right in front of you. Since we can't this morning. Enjoy "Yearning".

Topping It Off

 Not all weekends are created equal, but most are pretty fantastic. They are hard to beat when they are spent fishing and enjoying life. Fish were on the feed hard again, after a week of off color, dirty water. Fishing the edge of the clear / green water edge line proved deadly to the brown and rainbows that looked up. The usual suspects worked like a charm, with the special tie stimulator taking the largest of the fish. Other great flies included the hot, hot pink chubby . 

 Can't leave out my other favorite little friend, Purple Haze, he participated in the

reindeer games too.

The weekend was capped off sitting by the fire and an evening long rain shower. So, so nice.
