Took a few pics from my last fishing trip. I'm trying to get comfortable taking pics of my own fish. It is definitly a little tricky to get a good pic, and handle the fish properly, and quickly. I don't want to just plop a trout on the bank for a picture then release it. Fishing was a little slower than it has been for me lately, but still managed a few fish.

Nice pictures. I too have had an issue with taking good looking fish pictures while fishing solo. I think you did a good job.

If your camera doesn't have a Macro setting for those close ups, try taking them farther away then crop and re size when ready to post.
Very nice brown trout. What rod you using?

Thanks for the tips. The rod is a W.W. Griggs Heritage series glass rod. I love this rod. I've been using it for about 10 years now. It's a medium action, but feels a little bit like a slower action rod, which I like, has a cool bamboo finish, is tough as nails, and was super cheap.

I knew it. The VG (Vintage Glass). It is very much a medium action. Glass/Graphite rod. I am on mine around 10 or so years as well.
Thanks for the post
