Some Things, a Bit Odd, Well Maybe

When I was growing up this guy was very familiar.

Over the course of time spent fishing I have taken many photos. Some of them of real interesting, and some well you say to yourself why did I take that picture.
These are a few photos of some of my odd, I mean photos that I took that had no special meaning but after looking at them much later are not to bad.




An old Medalist. Lots of turns of the handle with this one....still going strong.


A head on view of some workers.


The black and white version of two of the best.


Everything sweet.


An old covered bridge. It spans the headwaters of the Connecticut River in Northern New Hampshire.

  1. Great photos! Its fun to look back through all the photos you have taken over the years.

    I really dig the smokey, medalist, bomber, and cover bridge photo. The cover bridge photo you should submit to FishPond.

  2. Brk Trt,
    Looking at your photo's they're great!

    Last evening I watched Boston's channel 5 Chronicle's Main street & Backroads, which was on Rangley Maine. They had nice coverage on Carrie Stevens & her streamers she created, as well as covering Cornelia "fly rod" Crosby. Also Fly fishing below the upper dam.

    It was tastefully done & reminded me of your great blog....DRYFLYGUY

  3. Johnny Utah,
    Thanks.
    I like the Medalist photo. Black and White gos along with the year of the reel.
    Fishpond...that's an idea.

    DRYFLYGUY,
    Thanks.
    Channel 5 is that a PBS station? I would have loved to see that program.
    Do you know if is going to be rebroadcasted again?

  7. Odd is good. And always interesting. I like "the two best"....hauntingly beautiful.

  8. Mark,
    Thanks.
    Certain objects just look great in B&W.

    Savage,
    Thanks.
    The Medalist was a fine reel. Smokey is a great symbol.

  9. Steve,
    Thanks.
    NH does have a lot to offer. So many small streams with willing brookies.

    e.m.b.,
    Thanks.
    Odd is definitely good. Not only the photo, but they work so well.
    Tie a few up and give them a try.

    Those two account for most of my fish on small streams.

  15. G Lech,
    Thanks.
    Weathered, rustic covered bridge, it had to be B&W.

    Trout MaGee,
    Thanks.
    That dessert was so good. I guess you and I are the only guys to have a sweet tooth.

    to answer your earlier question on Bostons channel 5's chronicle & the coverage of Rangley Maine? Its not a PBS channel, though its regular network television. You may not receive that boston channel in the area that you live.
    I did copy the links that I found online for you, though they are in segments. Enjoy!!
