Did you catch any fish?

I didn't.  I didn't try real hard either.  The plan was to go to the NE corner and hunt moose sheds.  We got to LoonLake and it was froze solid and the hills were getting whiter and whiter.  It was a family Spring break trip, so I took a left and ended up at Banks.  Steamboat is a great state park. Luckily, I threw in one rod and the bikes.   I think the water was too cold for bass and I didn't find the bluegill or crappie.  I was flyfishing from shore, no boat.  The Carp weren't even moving much.  I think there must have been a BASS tourny going on, but didn't see them catching anything either.  I saw a guy pull out one big Walleye.

Thanks mountain...here are a couple others I got that night.  I was practicing what Pope was talking about.  I like taking them through trees.  A fetish I guess.  Then I managed to get a piece of the rock in it.

A bit of a rainbow and the sunset...

Banks Lake, just before you get to the check in Ranger station on the way to Steamboat Rock State Park.  Here's a sidenote, you guys saw my waterfall pics last year of Devils Punchbowl.  It was dry this year, even with all of the snowpack. :dunno:

Bone that last shot is superb!  It looks like one that would have made a great panoramic with the horizontal lines and all.
You think?
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not the fish they are after.

Thanks guys!  Yeah, kind of what I likes about it with the different contrasting belts of color or darkness. I wish I wouls have had th etripod.  All freehand so not as crisp as it could have been.

Great Pics!!

Bone, try HDR process (if you shot it in RAW) to see if you can bring out the clouds and rainbow.

Thats how I just lost my damn computer.  I was trying to download some HDR software and it was infected with the xp virus.  It frickin whiped my computer.  I didn't shoot these in RAW, at least I don't think I did.  I was going to start playing with some stuff though.  ANyhow, working on trying to get my computer back.  I lost everything including my CS2 and elements6. : (

Hey Bone,

Great pics as usual. You have an eye for detail and getting great shots, starting to the think maybe its a genetic thing.....what my eye see's and what ends up on the camera...usually looks like it was taken from a second grader.

Sorry to hear that, Bone.  CS2 has HDR processing too.
