On Sunday the 19th, my friend Paul and I drove to northern New Hampshire for a day of fishing. Unfortunately the water was a bit cooler and a bit higher than we were hoping for. As it turned out it was a great day of fishing but a poor day of catching!
We each tagged a couple of bigger trout (stockies) in the morning and I did manage a couple of pictures (a rainbow and a brookie, posted below). Each was caught with a parachute fly with a brightly colored post. Mine had a pink post. Paul was using an orange post.
That's Paul below drifting a dryfly:
In the early evening we picked up a handful of the smaller fish, as a caddis hatch broke out just before sunset. One of my most pleasant surprises was the picture immediately below. It was actually three images overlapped and combined in photoshop to create a vertical panorama, though it has been cropped to a more normal aspect ratio. I did this because the camera lens was not wide-angle enough to capture the water falling in the foreground plus the beautiful sky.
