Anybody using the (relatively) new GoPro Hero 3 out there? We’re just about to spring for one and were wondering what fly fisher folks were thinking about the camera. Battery life seems to be the issue drawing the most jawboning, though obviously folks have been discussing the operating system (much improved it appears after the […]

I was able to escape town council meetings and research to dash up to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort yesterday for the opening of their new intermediate-terrain Casper lift. The JH crew was fantastic; let me tromp where I needed to in order to get the shots, and a pipe lead crew member gave me a […]
So I am still without camera after the unfortunate meeting of my DSLR and the South Fork of the Snake. So last weekend when I was up on the Lochsa for the first time I was reduced to the camera on my two-year-old smartphone (I think two years in smart phone technology is akin to […]
Put a camera in the hands of a fly fisherman and sometimes unconventional images result. Lots of us spend time toting cameras of all shapes and sizes out on the water to record for posterity adventures sustained and fish caught. Imagine the hundreds of thousands of digital snaps that will be taken this summer….imagine how […]
New friend and Gig Harbor Fly Shop mate Matt H. sent this vid over this morning after we chatted about creative spaces, inspiration and creativity yesterday. This is nifty.
Think back to those days when you were just learning to cast a fly. If your experience was anything like mine, the seeming complexity of learning to cast, managing lines and tippets, learning to wade and even trying to pick out a damned fly to throw appeared overwhelming. Most of us had a friend or […]
As unlikely as it might sound, we’re entering one of my favorites times to be on the water back home – those weeks (pending the year) that the rivers run clear and cold before they ice up completely in the depth of the winter freeze. The combination of low river flows, the winter sunlight, unique […]
Fly Fishing Images by Eoin Fairgrieve from Eoin Fairgrieve on Vimeo. Nifty presentation of images, Eoin. We thinks you’re probably onto somewhere here……
A buddy and I just spent three days fighting the weather in search of big trout on a local lake. Some success and some failure later, this image was one of the results. He took it with the camera on his smartphone. I did a little post processing and quite like the way it turned […]
“PhotoTips” Episode 110 – Understanding DOF (Depth Of Field) from James Beltz on Vimeo. Fast forward to 5:35 to see the actual tutorial. This is a decent vid that visits the core principle related to DOF (aperture values) but also two other critical issues – distance to subject and lens focal length. Wanna really kick […]
While the presentation might be unorthodox, here’s a great demonstration of Canon’s new 8-15 mm f/4 Fisheye Zoom. Fly fishers take pics of things other than fish now and then. This one’s going on our must have someday list…….
I don’t have much to say this week. If you are wondering whether such silence might be the result of good fishing, I’ll offer a simple no comment. I’ll also offer up the following images, taken on a few recent trips that ran me near (and occasionally parked next to and fishing) the local waters. […]
In a world with another self proclaimed expert popping up almost everyday, heavy hitter (in the photography / video / audio / tech worlds) B&H has unleashed their education and review portal – In Depth. Though I seem to be on their site at least once a week I’m usually tracking down specs on a […]
