Underwater Steelhead – Pic of the Day
/in Picture of the Day, Underwater/by Jon RayErik Rambo shot a video of a cool release shot of a steelhead swimming away along the sand in the lower river. This video was shot this week in the high sun so we had good light and low clear water provides for a perfect effect. Took the video and converted it to a jpeg and found this shot that is hard to get with just a camera. Thank you Erik.

But here is one from the week that turned out okay. Had a chance at true glory but had the wrong ISO and AF for the moment, and all I captured was blur.

Running the Extreme Intermediate Skagit from SA, my favorite fall line by the way, found some nice fish to play with.
