i dont think camera skills have anything to do with. Ive only seen played out fish stay still

Actually camera skills have a lot to do with it why do you think there are so many sh*tty pics of dead fish that are laying there perfectly still

play the fish, take gloves off while playing it, iphone ready, bring er in, snap off a bunch of consecutive shots, maybe 4 or 5. Hopefully one of these shots turns out. They don't always turn out very good in which case I don't bother posting them up. Here is one from yesterday that  did not turn out very good, was the best shot of 4 frames.



Went over this last year and like I said then if you want to bring a hot fish thrashing into the shallows for a super quick release go for it! I accidentally snapped one off today doing exactly that. I would much rather just let them take their run or two so they glide in easily as they are  often lost thrashing and rolling in the shallows

Actually, I happen to think that is quite a fantastic shot, hue-nut.  We always see pictures of fish out of water in the angler's hands, or on the rocks, or even underwater with a submersible camera, but rarely do we see a nice clear photo of an underwater fish taken from above the surface!  The swirls and patterns from the water's surface tension look incredible against the fish.

Very cool.

I agree with you on that Tex, I would like to see how it looks without the Sepia or whatever effect he used there

Hue-nut has also mentioned more than once he takes most his pics with his iphone. I know from owning one that it only takes a couple seconds to get the camera up and ready, at least you can do the effects later on though   still no idea how he gets the fish to co-operate

I also have the same problem with every fish i catch, the problem of not being able to get them calm while not holding their tail or at least a hand across the belly to calm them. I also think its been a few years since i even got a pic of a wild steelhead because im usually to busy admiring them as i remove the hook and revive and release them to continue their journey  

hatchery ones of course are easy to take pictures of because they are stone cold dead !!! LOL

most cameras take a couple of seconds to set up and take a pic, its the resting your rod on the fish while trying to get it to lie still that takes all the time

Until today I had only used metal finish Colorado blades. For some reason I made an impulse buy at Fred's this morning. It turned out to be a good thing.

Finally landed my first stealhead using my gear setup today! I still prefer fighting them on my fly rod.

It spat the hook. I just put it outside the mouth just to show what I caught it on.

Took time off from installing laminate flooring for a friend to do a little fishing this morning. I had started the day fishing a small run up above Allison Canyon. Despite the water clarity being terrific I was not rewarded with any hits as I drifted a variety of purple and pink leeches under a strike indicator before switching to a sinking tip to swing through the tail end of the run. I headed downriver to another nice run in the mid river section and swung away with my 8 weight single handed Sage, but lost my versa tip on a hang up mid river. Discouraged I headed down the river as the rain started to really come down. I was contemplating packing it in for the day when I noticed there were no cars parked at my lower river run. I parked and walked down to the river and began swinging a pink squidro fly at the top of the run. Since I no longer had my versa tip on, I was relying solely on my clear camo sink tip to get the weighted fly down. I proceeded to cast and swing and step down the run and was finally rewarded with a headshake as the fly reached the middle of the run. I set the hook and battled this 14 pound hatchery buck to the beach for my first steelhead of the season.
