Fly Fishing Photography

Silver Creek Evening Session.  Hunter Churchill selecting the goods after dark.

 

I recently photographed a family fishing the "evening hatch" on Silver Creek.  The images in this post are from that evening.

It's still trico time on Silver Creek and despite some pretty heavy crowds it's possible to get away a little.  The pmd spinner fall has been strong as well and the afternoon callibaetis has been getting better and better and will pick up momentum as we get into September.  LOTS of hoppers as well.

Ok, for the past 2 weeks I have essentially been away from my computer.  Pros and cons with that.  I have been on the river 7 days a week though.  It is smokey and hot here.  Water levels have all dropped and it's hopper and trico time.  The bugs have been starting on Silver Crek around 7:45 AM and today there was a good pmd spinner fall in the Nature Conservancy section of Silver Creek that lasted until about 11:15 AM...  Almost no baetis where I was.  Just tricos, pmd's, damsel flies and hoppers.
