I can't see that newsgroup. Is this some kind of joke at my expense ? ;-)
Not that there's a problem with that (g)

Well, um, yeah, it's looking that way right now ;-)

It's a series of shots that look like you were doing a funky two-step boogie -
possibly with a fish on the line.

Take heart - we've seen worse...

OK I remember now :-) Staged. No fish, and right after that I spooked a
rainbow off the bank that was bigger than anything I landed all week - it
looked more like the fish the other guys were catching (g).

Well, Bruce, that isn't it. I took several candid pictures of you
Friday morning. That was when the fish kept slipping away before I
could get a picture of them. The sequence has you in a couple classic
poses with rod held high and net low. It does look like some sort of
ballet. Personally I think it's complementary.

I posted the picture to Photosig, a website I subscribe to. I think

Thanks Chas. Those are funny pictures. I was having a better than usual
time that morning with all the fish. Can't quite figure out #2 but I do put
my flyrods through a fairly unconventional workout. Willi says I look like
a windmill.

Picture #2 is about 3 seconds after a fish avoided your hold for the
picture. It's that empty handed disapointed look that comes when the
last 5 fish have been landed, but get away before you can set up the
pose.

The windmill is a casting style that gets the weighted leader, nymphs,
and strike indicator out to the right spot without tangling while
keeping the rod high to avoid drag. I would like to capture that
sequence one of these trips.

I know you talk about changing your casting style, but I hope you don't.
You're unique style is effective and it allows me to spot you in a crowd
or at a distance.

That's a deal, as long as you'll keep showing me how to catch the fish!

C Choc @ the San Juan this weekend...

Kind of looks like your cuttin' a rug...

Wish I could have been their, I sure have enjoyed all the attendees stories
and TR's.
