Thanks, appreciate it. Sometimes I take a long break doing streamside shots, then, years later, it reminds me that I was there, really. This was a fall Sierra shot, along a nice little stream that flowed well all season, sunlight and quaking leaves. 7' Edwards Autograph, Hardy Flyweight, DT4,

Bamboo rods look better when they are hung up against a British Columbia fishing camp cabin. Here's a 9' Winston 6 weight paired with a Hardy Perfect, a 9' Granger Champion 6 weight with Battenkill reel and a Granger Victory 8642 5 weight with a Farlows reel.

The rods caught a few Kamploops Trout as well.

Haven't visited this thread for awhile, surprised how it's grown! Here's a Orvis Battenkill 6'6" rod and a JW Young Pattern 8 reel:

Since fall has fallen in the Sierra, my 7' Edwards on a fine day on a rocky stream. Risers even as the weather turns chilly. Snow has already fallen, and we all pray El Nino breaks the droughty grip of his bad sister, La Nina, the dry one.

Oh my - what a delight that must have been!
Excellent stuff.

For my money, fly fishing doesn’t get any more “classic” than this post.
