Default Summer Browns Great Trip! (Pic Heavy)

Got permission to go on some private land and fish Topsie Kret Creek. Catch and Release fishing is encouraged, by the land owner. Just wanted to share the pictures. This my first time catching browns, and first time fly fishing for them. The fights were amazing, with fish flying several feet out of the water and their colors were just beautiful. I used a canon t2i with a polarized lens to cut down on glare and boost color. I did how ever bump the colors slightly in some of the photos. The fish with the blue tail did have a bluish tail though. Has anyone ever seen that before?

Road Kill owl left us some presents


First Brown of my life


Nice little fatty, different pattern


My girlfriend's favorite picture from the trip. She said we look like twins.




Blue tail?


Colors


The Creek


This little Cretin and about fifty other were chirping me when i tried fishing under an old bridge.

Beautiful fish and such a nice little creek, looks like there would be some nice hidey-holes for some massive browns !

Great looking browns!

On another note, might want to be carefull about posting some pics... I do believe it is illegal to possess bird of prey feathers with a permit, even if its dead when you found it.
