Any fish?

A couple small trout. Nothing worth taking a picture of.

What camera and lens? What distance? Lightroom/Photoshop? Great shot!

 

[brian434]

That's a Cannon with 200mm lens. Nothing special as I don't know how to operate that thing or customize pics. Range on this pic was about 20 yards.

Where's the fish???

 

[brian434]

Sadly, still in the water but I plan to rectify that today. I am bringing the camera again so maybe I can add pics of fish this time around.

Where's the hole?

 

[brian434]

About 40 miles SW of Denver where the North and South forks of the Platte River meet.

A bad day fishing beats a good day doing anything else!

I am jealous of your fishing location.

Down stream from Deckers a ways. By the old Hotel that is all boarded up.

I think a fishing trip is in all of our near futures.

 

[brian434]

I'm down but the rumor is I am going back out on the road next week. I will be fishing out there some this week.

Have you ever been up to the miracle mile?

 

[brian434]

Nope. That's even further SW isn't it?

I was just up there about 2 weeks ago and the fishing was pretty good. Lots of people though. I remember going up there every year and having the whole river to myself.

Yeah I used to go up there with my dad in high school, I never really got the hang of flyfishing with the hand-me-down rod I was using at the time, it had that weird trigger reel in rather than just spinning it yourself and it never really worked right, so I never really caught much, except one time when I was up there I remember catching like 3 or 4 good sized rainbows in about two hours one saturday morning. And there weren't many people on it at all back then. I haven't been on it in probably 7 or 8 years, whenever I'm up there its usually down in the canyon, has it gotten pretty crowded now?

Unbelievably crowded now. I was going up there regularly around that same time 7-8 years ago and it was deserted.
