NC late OCT DH trip pics
Spent last Thurs. exploring some new water with a friend I had never fished with before. We left at 7:30 AM and got back about 7:30 that evening.

We both caught a respectable number of fish and enjoyed a beautiful day on DH waters. A variety of drys and droppers were effective, but no pattern was fail-safe.

I am grateful that NC has DH waters. It is a privilige to enjoy the fish resource for 8 months. Fall is such a beautifully fantastic time of the year, especially when fly fishing.

THANKS for looking.

We tried several colors of Power Bait but those DH fish ate the hot pink Power Bait the best. We also had good luck w #12 nymphs tipped w wax worms....

Very nice pictures,do you mind me asking what type of camera? I am assuming DSLR?

Hi Matt:

Thanks for Asking about the camera...I wish, in some ways, that my camera was a DSLR. In other ways I am glad it is not.
Currently I am carrying a SonyCyber Shot that I got on Craig's list below market price. It is not waterproof and I have drowned it while fishing twice this year. The rice in a bag trick cured it both times. I am afraid that an expensive DSLR would end up wet, broken or all of the above.

What I have found is that Point and Shoot cameras offer a lot more features and options than most of us ever utilize. Kind of like our PC's.

The more I play with the settings the better the pics become. AND as we all know, digital costs nothing to shoot. I actuallly use the bracketing feature on the Program (P) setting that will shoot 3, 5 or continuous. Then when editing I have a range of exposures to choose from...Most point and shots overexpose and I don't like their "average" settings.

I am sending you a PM that will have a site where I have some galleries, most of which are fishing related. If anyone else wants to look send me a PM.
THANKS,
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
