essential fly

OK, Micro photos, yes. Taken from a expensive micro lens? Nooooo...those are micro function in the Pentax Optio 30. A point and shoot camera. Here is my opinion again.
I always say, before pursuing a good camera, got to know the camera you already have first. This is a hard lesson to myself also, I was a gear head! still is! But by knowing your/my camera, you got a tremendous advantage to get a big BANG from the hard earned money! This is essentially true for photography. In the past few years, condition not allow me to have my heavy duty equipment with me. But, there is nothing wrong with P$S cameras. It's about how you "see" it...the timing and how well you know the subject, how well you control the camera. I hate people complain they said their equipment is not good enough to take good photos... I always said, "maybe just your eye is not good enough..." ha..., of course those are my close friends, instead of punch me, they forgive me. : )

Those are 3 essential flies to me. Rock worms, Baetis mayflies and caddis pupae! Whatelse you need to catch a trout?! How to use them is another story...

final count down

here we go again...

the river sound, the lullaby

Fly Fishing from Megan Leigh Sweeney on Vimeo.

lovely piece of a video. I love the sound of rivers... it's a lullaby!
BTW, if you guys are interested in mountain life like I do, you should check out Megan's videos in vimeo. She is a talented director! Lot's of wonderful and creative films. (The enbeded function act goofy, sometimes work, some don't... but you can direct click on the film and watch them on vimeo)

deer hair attractors

yes...i do have some dry flies...see... i am getting into a good shape... Those caddis attractors are tied from deer hair...can't last long afloat, but when it submerged under the surface, it still as deadly as it should be... easy to tie and easy to cast...

retirement

i know it is "a bit" too early to think about retirement... ha... but I have been thinking about it lately because some people around me are right on this stage. To me, this would be a self-explanatory perfect photo. Beer, Tea and all the fun thing happen in between!! Congratulations to the people that are on the retirement! (Dad, yes... I am talking about you! : ))

got wormd?

Dirty! dirty! dirty! Yeah... it's the worm! Heavy, sink fast and "chewy". Vladi T. use those Vladi worms to win the Fly fishing world championship. The name of the game is Polish Nymphing! : )

wheel pool

nympher!

I was using some of my spare time (the time between study, waiting for my meal etc...) to tie up some flies for the big trip. Yes, I like to fish under the surface. Wetflies, tungsten beads and emergers. Pheasant tail flies still is my all time favorite... from #20 - #12. Traditional partridge and yellow #12 still going strong this year, this is one of my favorite fishing style (wetfly swing). I added more tungsten bead stone flies (Super Duper Double Heavy! 1.5g!) this year... The reason for that is because I want to eliminate extra weight out of my system (no more split shots). My system would be very simple, one super heavy anchor fly and one light unweighted pheasant tail. Czech nymphing and wetfly swing are the main dishes... Sometimes..maybe.. err... indicator fishing if I feel "nostalgia" about bobber fishing! : )

I also getting myself back to the dry fly glory "a little bit"... there are some caddis stimulator, beetles... royal wulff etc...I am all excited about this coming trip! will take more fly photos in the future... : )

dry fly?

The idea was emerged from the green drake hatch...and it keep crawling back on me...@@
