agreed and the pics can't even do it proper justice, it's just great up there.
the fish are kinda big to launch from nets... so they launch them from the buckets! looks about the same, trout sailing through the air, etc. when a bucket was coming down with a real big fish in it (tail sticking out of the 5 gal bucket), it would get dumped in a little more gently. didn't see a single dead fish anywhere though, so it works.

Love the photos, great fish !!

no black flies thankfully, but plenty of gnats to inhale and/or land in your eyes. really was only bad when the wind was down.
