Video of landing that Striper on a fly rod would have been priceless. I try to keep the HD Flip and my digital cannon both in my tackle box, however; I fish often fish alone so action shots are hard to come by.

All True. This was more an indictment of my hero shot collection than of bringing a digital with you, which I still do.

You know, memory cards have given me some unintended benefits. I have to admit that I edit a lot more with digi than I ever did with film. Only the good stuff survives anymore. Could be the psychological lead that hitting delete is a lot easier than throwing out something you had to pay for. Who knows?

Sage advice from an actual professional whose photos actually rank. Props: http://midcurrent.com/photography/alex-landeen/

On fly rod placement:
The fly rod is best placed in the frame nonchalant, as if by accident, and in a place where it may have been naturally dropped out of the way. It is important that the reel is in the frame because from a distance a rod just looks like a rod unless the lighting is good enough to illuminate the line. But then you have to worry about some errant thumbnail floating around without the resolution to prove you are awesome and a fly fisherman and better than anyone who catches a fish with anything else.
