    July 4th on the Farmington

    I was lucky enough to score a wedding in Northampton, MA this past week end and that gave me an excuse to spend the 4th on the Farmington before my drive up for the wedding Sunday. Water was high as you all know, so I drove up to Hogback Road and messed around there. Over all it was a very successful day for me, landing about 10 or 12 fish. I actually had ... for the first time ever for me ... take me to my backing! In the lower part of Ovation this bruiser nailed my sulfur and made three different runs. I was fishing a 2wt with 6x and it took me a good long while to bring him to hand. Unfortunately I couldn't net 'em - user error on my part - but it was great.

    I also saw an American Bald eagle as well as fighter jet formation fly over .... all in all a pretty good independence day.

    Enjoy

    Top two are same fish, last one is the Sulfur I caught the "fish of the day" with ... no photo of him though.

    ... I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun.

    Beautiful pictures. We are lucky to have a photographer of your ilk on our site. Thanks again for sharing.

    Thanks Juice ... I'm a better photographer than fisherman, and these photos don't even confirm that!

    Cheers,

    I was on the Farmington on the 4th just below the Pipeline Pool and had the fly over pass overhead not once but 3 times! I HAD GOOSE BUMPS...........IT MADE MY DAY!
    if we all take 1 piece of trash from the area we fish , it will make a difference!

    Those birds are so beautiful. You see that one a lot in that area. Heck, I would not even mind if the eagle killed a few trout while I was there!

    I would put my rod down and pick up the camera for that Aaron.

    NP36,
    Those pictures are astounding. I took the time to study each and every one of them. The wedding and
    the faces of the subjects were so interesting.
