On the River 2018-05-01

Was lucky enough to get the day off from work on Tuesday and enjoy the great weather. Grabbed my fly rod and headed off to the river. Managed to land a total of 10 rainbows, 9 of which took nymphs fished in the deep pools. A nice caddis hatch started early afternoon and I found the one trout that was rising to feed on the surface. I was able to fool it with an elk hair caddis fly for my 10th trout of the day.

Here are a few photos...

Everyone has a different resolution on their screen. I link images no wider than 1000 pixels wide typically, usually 900. This will fit on most folk's computer screens. The images you posted are 4000 pixels wide, and that's probably the resolution your camera takes. My phone does the same, and before posting I just bring down their resolutions.

However you lose that quality of detail when you shrink it, so maybe link externally to the larger resolutions in case you still want to show those incredible details but also let people browse the post easily.

For example:





And here's higher quality pics:
