Sorry I didn’t caption all of them but I’ve spent over 3 hours doing this (and thats with broadband), If I waited to caption all they would never have gotten done.
Any Questions let me know…You may not get an answer…But what the Hey!
:rolleyes:

Thanks for the pics. I must say; that’s one large mayfly.
It’s nice to see happy faces at a Fish-In. It looks like you had the right weather too.

OK … ummmm … image 36. You guys did pirate ear piercing without me!!!

Nice pics Jean, however, no pictures of the WINNER of the strenuous casting competition with his/MY blue ribbon ? :slight_smile:

Joe;
Here’s what they really looked like.

Size 16-18 BWO’s were the choice of the day!!

Mark;
Well, there’s this

O.K Mark here you go:

Of course al of that practice paid off

Beautiful country up there! There’s something about a Fish-In that just seems to put smiles on people’s faces.:smiley:

Bill - For future reference - Photobucket has a bulk uploader that lets you upload all your pictures at the same time, and it’s MUCH faster than doing them one at a time. I did 70 something at once, and it took just a few minutes. The link to it is at the bottom of the box that has the upload button in it. It even allows you to add captions quickly when you’re done.

Thanks Jim and Jack. A veritable barrage of photos . I’m humbled and thankful :).

Mark

:DEd,
Thanx for the info on photobucket, I really need to read the directions someday:rolleyes:

Here’s a couple of shots that makes a Fish-In special.

Jim Flamming and his son John both hooked up at the same time! It was Jims 5th and Johns 6th, John sure let his dad know it too!!

That’s sewdrapes on the left, Jim and son Wes in the center and bdesavage in the middle (forgot who’s on the right!!??)

Note Wes’s two handed style. He was a little worried about the current in this area and stayed close to mom or dad all morning. UNTILL he hooked the biggest Brown of the day and after that it was “You guy’s leave me alone I’m doin’ just fine!”.

Hope Brad posts the photo of the Brown.

I had just about as much fun shooting these pictures as I did fishing!

Jack,
I think thats John Rich(JohnR) on the right.

I think you’re right. But where is Vickie!?

Betty

Depends on what you call a pirate ear piercing. I pierced my own ear that morning (The dangers of fishing a 5 foot tadpole) Vickie was doing her nursing duties and making sure that an infection did not set in. Must have worked…I am as looney as ever!

Brad

Darn! That’s not near as fun as pirate piercing!! Here I figured you all were running around with skull and cross bone earrings, or big loops, hanging from your ears!! Yelling … Aaarrrraaggggghhhhhhh!!! :shock:

Trust me…I was yelling…but I can’t repeat what I was yelling. This IS a family site. Ask Jack Hise… he may tell you!

Brad

Infection? What chance would a few pathogens have against one of the greatest pirates from the Island Nation of Ohio?

I’m glad that y’all had fun.

A final note, right after Jack left Tennessee, out daily high temps dropped about 10 degrees F. Not kidding.

Ed

Why was the bomb squad at the fish in? Were you guys using the famous dynamite fly to raise trout?

Passlake I just “bumped” up 1st report from MIFI all the dirty details are there:D
