Any image with a long silky loop of flyline in the air is sure to catch my attention. It is almost like a melody that you can see. We are not fly fishing purists but sure do enjoy our days on the water with the long rod. Ever since my friend Henry Jackson took the time to show my son Ethan how to properly cast i have enjoyed watching him fly fish. Some days I just float along and watch the "show." It gets so bad sometimes he hollers at me to " put that dang camera down and catch a fish!" I usually comply but within a short amount of time i will be back with the camera in hand. Some days the cast , kayak and background all seem to blend into the perfect image to catch. These are the ones I cherish, the time spent with my favorite fishing partner and captured to share with my friends. I hope y'all like it !
