Wow!
Very nice pictures Bob, cant wait to see the rest.
Mind me asking how you like what I assume is a rubber composite netting vs the traditional nets?

Beauty pictures. You could sell them to an outdoor magazine. What type of camera?

As usual great photos! Was the sixth fish from the top in your first post captured in the upper Athabasca Basin? Looks like it could be an Athabow (native Alberta Athabasca basin rainbow trout).

The net in my signature pic has a rubber bag. I don't really like it. It's a harder rubber & the bag is not deep enough- fish can flip out if you're not super careful.
The other net has a more traditional bag, but it is knotless & very soft; seems like it should be easier on the fish than the cheap knotted nylon nets. I would like to replace both with the good, soft rubber bags soon.

All the fish pictured are from south & west of Calgary; no Athabows.
I've certainly caught some cool-looking 'bows this year...

Thanks!
I use an Olympus Stylus 850SW point & shoot that I've had for quite a few years.
I edit with PicMonkey to make the pics look a little sharper.
