After Elia went to be tonight I found myself looking through some old pictures and videos. I focussed mainly on this spring's trip to MN to fish with Justin, and on his trip here to OR this year. We took some great pictures and videos, and I am already excited for next spring. I'm not sure what that trip will bring, but Justin and I always have a good time fishing together. Here is a link to a video taken on the Deschutes river in OR while fishing the salmonfly hatch. I had crawled into position for this fish, and after about 3-4 fly changes (picky sucker...and we are talking salmonflies here) I finally got a take. Chris O'donnell, a friend and guide was taken Justin and i down the river, and he actually carried enough salmonfly variations to get this fish to eat. It was a fun 20 minutes of fishing, and watching the fish dart, swirl and refuse was almost as good as the take.

I just watched that video too... that was a great perch we had there. We could see everything. The first time the fish refused, Chris just about had a heart attack. What great imagery - glad we have it on record. YOu were right on that fish too...
the more i watch that video, i think the fish refused again at the very last second. good stuff regardless. that is the beauty of fishing...it isn't always about the end result.
Your website has a useful information for beginners like me.
