Did someone want just rods and water
I can do that





Dang Mike . Those fried bluegills look so freakin tasty . Pm me your recipe. I wanna try them fried full body style.
Makes me want a fried bluegill sammich with old bay seasoning and some lettuce from Mrs Ottobahn’s garden.

That would be the Collecting Forum. However, you are right that the photo doesn't need a visible fish. Fishing with Fiberglass Rods implies a fish is involved somehow (even if it is laughing at our pitiful attempts to catch it).

In the same manner that I asked for no discussion of catch & release, let's not go overboard with the slice 'em and eat 'em comments either. Please limit the dialogue to the photos. No more recipes...


Thanks,

Tom

Goin fishin...

Sandman's photo of the bent Fenwick with Mt Hood in the background is awesome!

Perfect action shot of fishing with fiberglass.

If your reply in this thread disappeared, I'm sorry. I just mass deleted too many comments that weren't about the photos.

I hope we can make something useful out of a thread that started poorly. The photos are fantastic! Please, let's keep that rolling.

To summarize;

• We could use new masthead photos anyway. Most haven't changed for a decade.
• The photo subject is fishing with fiberglass fly rods. The photo must have a glass rod being actively used for fishing (no rod rack pictures).
• The photo doesn't necessarily have to have a trout involved (or even a visible fish). Do we have any saltwater photos yet? All species are welcome.
• The masthead photos need to be horizontal images. Cell phone photos can be rotated and cropped. Be creative with your image, but please don't create PhotoShop artwork.
• We will have a separate poll where forum members can choose their favorite photo.
• Comments about anything other than the photos will be deleted (or edited) as forum staff see fit.

Tabornatives, glad Tom fixed that, sweet. So many good ones. Fish are so beautiful

How about this one?

I swear I was fishing a glass rod, as a matter of fact it was my 6'6" 3wt Winston Retro and I released the fish.



[No deal - you didn't include your rod in the photo. Tom]

I have no personal problem with the picture at the top of the page, but I'll throw my favorite pic I've taken - sea run brook trout on glass in the water

Beautiful!

I vote for Sandman's...that's super!

"but yeah clarkman's face ruins it "

I'm in complete agreement there!

Some nice photos. I have no problem with the current but will add a picture to the discussion.
