Subtitle: Bassrise - Moonrise

Last night I posted a landscape of the scene behind me in this photo. John Benway commented "Nicely seen and done" so I could not resist posting this photo of what I was really doing in that little bay on Lake Lila in the Adirondacks. (3-day wilderness kayak trip) After releasing the smallmouth, I spent the next hour photographing the sunset and moonrise while wading in the rushes.

Hi there angler!

That's a nice shot. Welcome to NPN, BTW :)

Do you fly fish too? I don't, but have gotten interested in fishing recently after I gave my friend moral support for two days non-stop while he tried his luck fly-fishing atlantic salmons.

Since then I've been wondering about learning river-walking techniques to learn how to shoot from the middle of shallow rivers, especially in winter.

If anyone checks back ...
Ashutosh -- Yes I fly fish while wading, but these days spend more time in my kayak. I don't think I could handle fly fishing from the kayay usless I left the camera home, and that's not gonna happen.
Toni -- Fish looks bigger due to wide angle, but it was really good for a SMB - just over 18" -- best any of us have seen from that lake.

Oh, so now the truth comes out but I can't blame you Wayne. Fishing is my second favorite past time and I know from experience that an 18" smallmouth gave you all you could handle. Imagine on a 5 weight flyrod.

Now we've got two things in common. Take care. John

Hi Wayne. So nice to be able to mesh two great hobbies. BTW, who's that guy in back of you holding you up?
