We are getting a lot of great photos from our customers!  Thank you all for submitting them and keep them coming!  We do hang on to them for a month or two sometimes, so don't be surprised if you get an email after a few months from us.

A few hints and pointers for what we are looking for:  We prefer on the river photos with fish that look healthy, fresh, alive and in some process of being released.  We all take home fish from the river, but I think that we can all agree that photos look better when the fish is alive and healthy and in/near the water.

We also prefer photos that are clear, crisp, focused and with decent light balance.  We have turned down some potentially good shots that were blurry, or too dark/light.

Smile!  Show us you're having a good time!

Last but not least, check your email.  We have chosen several photos for our contest but never heard back from the photographers.  Prizes await....

So with that, here are our four winners for June 2017.

Mark Dixon took this photo of his client with this beautiful, huge rainbow.  It ate a flying ant pattern, (the fish, not the client).  Who knew that such nice trout could be caught in the South?

Gavin Steele has been figuring out a lot about the lakes in his area.  I can't tell you where they are, but I can tell you that this is a nice fish... one of many nice fish that he has caught recently.

Taylor Chew sent us this gorgeous shot of an Arctic Grayling from the mighty state of Alaska.  They don't get much prettier than this.

Tom Peachy shared this nice photo from our backyard.  Another healthy Deschutes River Redside trout falls for an Elk Hair Caddis.
