Fly Fisherman
With the river as low as it is because of the ongoing drought, there are only a few pockets of semi deep water left in the flow where trout may be hiding. This guy, an admitted newbie at fly fishing, was trying his luck. His casting wasn’t exactly the best, but he was determined. And with practice he’ll do well.

The following are a few of the images I shot while on my own fresh air walk. From a bicycle gang (yes, a gang from Gilroy, CA wearing their gang vests riding their low-rider bicycles), to a group walking their dogs along the river, to fishermen and their prize catch, to the ever present kayaker Continue reading Activities on and around the river…
A bad decision?
I think this fisherman will regret taking off his shirt while standing out in the center of the river with his fishing rod. He’s already looking half baked Continue reading A bad decision?
