Almost as if on cue, today I hooked a bright, hot native buck in one of my favorite spots...as I fumbled to get the digital cam ready while landing this awesome fish, he tried to go ballistic right in on the gravel/rocks. I quickly ditched the camera and guided the fish back into the deeper water where he couldn't hurt himself. You know what happened next...he came unbuttoned with no pic. Perfectly OK with me...although I love my pictures, I never go for the the shot at the expense of the welfare of the steelhead. Same theory here on the Notebook.
