Minnie Lake High Flyer


I've been playing around with wildlife photography for a couple years, and while reviewing some photos the other day, I ran across this one. A friend and I had spent two days fishing various reaches of the Yakima River and stopped off to fish the uppermost stretch--immediately below Keechelus Lake. This portion of the river is known for its brook trout population, and not having caught brookies for a number of years, I wanted to enjoy their beautiful coloration again. The water was a bit high, but a few fish were eager enough to take an elk hair caddis. I snapped a picture of this one with my cell phone, not thinking much about it. It wasn't until I downloaded it to my computer that its striking nature caught me.

Wow! Incredible photo. Thanks for posting. Please post more photos in future, beautiful and inspiring!
In honor of the the new Seattle NHL Hockey Team the Kraken has been released.

Unfortunately, no Spring trip to the lakes of the British Columbia interior this year. There in spirit

with the aid of some old photographs. This is a photograph from at 2008 day trip to Morgan Lake, while staying at the cabins at Tunkwa Lake Resort. Photograph by Bruce Freet.
Normally when I fish with Robin and Bruce, they are fighting double and I drop my phone to take the photo. Cool photo, Robin!
What an awesome picture shot! Leaving in less than 48 hours to head up there. Can’t wait!
