AWESOME!!!
Thank you so much.
Not a lot of catch and release going on in those photo. I'm guess that is one incident where the hatch is hazardous to your health, if you are a trout.
Great Pics!
I was fishing the Gunpowder in MD a 1/4 mile below the dam last fall when i heard a big splash and turned around to see an osprey lift off with a 20''+ brown! Oh and this was the same brown that ignored my flies for 15 mins while he sat in a shallow, slow run. Nature is always number one. That made my day, i have a few pics but they arent nearly as good.

And the bird say's
Fly rod? I don't need no stinking fly rod..
I didn't know they liked kitty's.
A few years ago my nephew and I were float tube fly fishing at Rock Creek Res. We were about 50 ft. apart when out of nowhere, a Bald Eagle swooped down to the water, between us, and grabbed a trout. I did not get a photo, but I found an Image that looks exactly right: http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/medi...prey_T5808.jpg

Well, if you drive 191 North of Rock Springs to Pinedale, you will see several osprey nests right along the highway! Seedskadee bird refuge has several Bald Eagles that nest there, also some near Pinedale. Have some pics of osprey and eagles in nests, on poles, etc., but none catching fish.
EXCEPT for a video from Alaska in 05 on a Glacier cruise, I managed to catch in video a Bald Eagle catch a fish and then release it because it was bigger that the eagle was! It was not planned, just happened, dead center, in the small falls and lower pool that I was filming at the time.
The great blue heron are also around here. The Duck I statred to question, BUT have seen them chasing minnows before, why not small truot.
Thanks for the fabulous pictures!!!!
