OK, I'm fessin' up.
This is me in one of my favorite water bodies. A spring creek above the aquifer recharge zone (where this creek disappears) it contains one of only 3 remaining A-strains of endemic Guadalupe bass in existence. 
you can tell the A-strain fish by their blue sheen - the fish diluted with feral smallmouth genetics have a copper sheen 
the rods are never obsolete - the marketing is.

There's an awful lot of people with beards on here.
It must be a subject for research.

This be moi, Big Thompson, RMNP, August 09. A good time was had by all of me. I guess I should explain my accoutrement -- Matsumoto shave ice lanyard, holds my camera secure when I bend over, even though it's waterproof it could disappear into a riffle. My rod that day is one of my favorite travel and general purpose rods, c. Sixties, 7 1/2' 3/2 Battenkill. MF, I use a DT4 on it. The pin on my shirt is the Liberty holding freedom's torch emblem of the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team of WW II. The Go For Broke boys, most decorated, the courageous Japanese American and Hawaii boys who fought savage battles in Italy (Cassino, Pisa, Carrara, nighttime cliff ascent to assault the Gothic Line) and in France (Rescue of the Texas 36th Lost Battalion, liberation of Dachau). Their casualty rate was over 300%. My uncle Ted Fujioka served with them, after volunteering from the Heart Mountain, Wyoming Relocation Center, near Cody. He rests in Epinal, France. Tree burst. He will always be 19. Thanks for the freedom to do what I do, uncle. 
These are my untanned legs, if you didn't notice. I usually wear Supplex, for protection from nettles, poison oak and biting bugs so my legs stay green. But this was a very nice fall day. I remember it was around 80. I was fishing the thin water of the Dana Fork in Tuolomme Meadows, above Yosemite over ten years ago and the weather was fine as could be. It was perfect. This shot is when I stopped for lunch. Jammed logs at midstream made a great seat. Lousy sandwich, but I didn't care. I did more walking than fishing. That water is thin up there late in the season. I fished only here and there, took lots of small ones and the rod is a 7' Duracane. Hat's off to everyone. |

Nice! Heck, I woulda walked 2 miles. Looks like we shop for shades at the same place!
Huck Finn: 
"When all the rods and a lot of reels, lines, leader boxes, et cetera, had been sold, the gang paid at the cashier's
window for what they'd bought and then made a bee line for the rug room to test their rods. I put mine together, tested it for a moment or so, and then
started to show it to men I knew. Not a man was interested in my rod. They all, without a single exception, tried to get me to look at theirs. Extraordinary,
how self centered most men are. Have you noticed it? "

Nice fish, but that looks like a plastic rod to me, unless someone started building green and round bamboo rods. Obviously you've been hanging around with the BBB, or BHB, if you prefer, way too much. He keeps the plastic hidden when he's around me now, because he knows in his black little heart that I'll blow the whistle. gofish

since I almost always fish alone, I can avoid being in front of a camera,
This counted as a special occasion, Me and my first Atlantic salmon, with the Owenduff river - County Mayo Ireland in the background. The picture taken by a hard worked Ghillie, please excuse the pained expression (I don't look any better without it anyway). the photo was taken after a second day of horendous weather. 100KPH winds driving rain, which switched to snow and then to hail before going back to rain. We fished the whole day out and on litterally the last cast, a fresh from the sea springer took my fly. And yes it's a plastic rod (15') and a Spey Company reel, I cast a bamboo spey at the Catskills gathering - thats on the must build list.

Here's my delicate form with a "fair" fish from the Harriman Ranch stretch of the Henry's Fork -- #18 PMD emerger and 6X.
