Very pretty fish!

hope to get more soon in better light.

Seems like you missed the focus and you "cut off" the tail.

I am shooting throught an aquapak, with limited view finder visablity, so... its one of those get a photo or non at all. considering that I am plenty happy, this photo wasnt ment to be artsey.

Caddis? Can't really tell with the water around it...good way to start the winter.

Good job. Most people can't appreciate the difficulty of photographing fish while fishing alone. One has to deal with wet slimy hands, trying to get focus while dealing with a fish, changing light intensity at different angles, camera adjustments with one hand under tense circumstances etc.

and the waterproof bag you can barly see through,.. I havent been back out latly since I dont have waders its been to cold. the fly I used looks like a brown chuck of catfood. alot like the pellets the hatchery feed these fish.

If your trying to imitate the trout feed, try a color that is slightly darker brown; chocolate brown. My dad runs a hatchery and I feed them all the time, handling hundreds of pounds of feed a month, it gets quite stinky . It might make a difference, but it might not.

Good Luck,
