A Mountain Secret

[Zanko]

I went wandering to a new spot that I had thought about for awhile yesterday. It turned out to be a great day on the stream. There was amazing wildlife, eagle's nesting, WWII fighter's flying above, and ideal water to explore. I am too tired to write a long report but I wanted to share the experience with you through the photo's I took. So here they are:

Catching these wild trout never gets old.

As I looked up to enjoy the beautiful weather I ended up spotting an eagle's nest. This time of year in Arizona always brings these beautiful birds to nest and raise their young.

The stream begins to narrow....

Narrow or not it keeps producing fish after fish!

The picture's really don't do this place justice. I had a great time and hope you enjoyed these picture's as much as I did taking them.

%*!@ unreal, nicely done my friend. What are you trying to do? Get me upset?

...and you did not mention any names, I like that.

Your fishing is about to change in a very big way.

Now lets get some words together eh?

You ready to share an adventure and write a story together?

You ready for that?

Cameras, computers, graphite, bamboo, brookies browns and so much good time, it's on baby, it's on...

[Zanko]

Lol I thought this might get you jazzed!

Long hours behind the glass, old world style fishing, hiking into the unknown, a variety of fish type's, a good friend, let's do it!

The glass keeps us focused on what is important.

We are a few days from the start of something new.

Wonderful place to be fishing; and your photos are telling a story. I loved it.

[Zanko]

Thanks for the kind words Mostyn, glad you enjoyed them. :biggrin:

That is one beautiful place. Nice pics. I love the orange/yellow tint to the scenes due to the light through the smoke from the fires.

[Zanko]

I always hate to see a fire close to anyone of my streams.

However, it did make for very unique sky scape.

The smell of smoke was very evident that day and I hope they contain it ASAP.
