That was my first fishing trip on the South Fork of the Snake and it turned out to be a dandy. The water was running low and the Cuts were slamming both dry flies and droppers. The best fly of the day was an ugly Turk's Tarantula (not a pretty one like Guy Turk ties). They were slamming that fly, and guy walked over to see what I was using, and as I stripped it in to show him a Brown slammed it! It was that kind of day. You can see the rest of the pictures from that trip here: http://community.webshots.com/album/260558
My personal favorite of all of my fish pictures is "Autumn Brown". You can see that here: http://community.webshots.com/album/232383/1
Just click on the "Autumn Brown" link.
I confess I love taking pictures of the fish I catch. 98% of the time I just pull the fish into shallow water, take the picture then revive and release the fish... without the fish ever leaving the water. I think they are much prettier in the water anyway. I usually put the rod in for scale. What you will usually never see is ME in the picture although there are a couple there in those albums. Nothing ruins a good fish picture more than a gloating human in the background!

Hey Tom, did you take this picture? It's an outstanding photo.
