Jaws

May 17, 2013/in Uncategorized/by Jon Ray

Jaws of a Pike. Had a chance to fun fish for pike on an inland lake, captured this picture with a GoPro3 and took a screen shot of the video. Hard to see but the fly is totally sucked into the jaws of this Alpha predator.

13 or 15 chestnut lamprey lost count

May 16, 2013/in Uncategorized/by Jon Ray

I have never seen this before, a couple weeks ago I set my record , and today I broke the record for most lamprey on a fish, with what I thought was 15 lamprey but only see 13 in the picture. We will say 13 as the official mark.

Baltimore Oriole

May 15, 2013/in Birds and Turtles, Bugs that Fish Eat, Picture of the Day/by Jon Ray

One of favorite birds of the early summer has soon up, the Baltimore Oriole. This means as I talked before in a previous blog that sulphurs are going to hatch soon. Mother nature has certain relationships and this over the years has proven true. But until I see my first sulphur (guessing this weekend) I’ll just […]

Goshawk Video

If you follow the site you know I enjoy taking pictures of birds of prey, this Goshawk video is amazing. Imagine this bird chasing it’s prey down through the woods, thank goodness this bird has not grown any larger to chase down humans.

Worked with Chuck Hawkins yesterday and taped a couple video’s that we just posted on our Hawkins Youtube channel.

Power of Clouds – Picture of the Day

May 2, 2013/in Picture of the Day/by Jon Ray

On the contrast of clouds and the calming effect of a large body of water is why I like this photo I had a chance to take this week.

So close I can taste it.

With a look ahead I see temps that are going to provide some of the first dry fly fishing of the season, and I can’t wait! A little video that brings back flash backs to last season’s memories. Can’t wait to burn new memories into film and mind. The Rise from Vak Magasin on […]

Name that Fish

Chuck Hawkins and I had a chance to fish some new water and found a mystery fish. Can you name it?

Really cool Editing

April 21, 2013/in Videos/by Jon Ray

As I continue to learn how to be better at photography, videography, and editing. Best way to learn is practice, but second best way is to watch the pro’s. There are some shots in this video that I have not seen before, pretty cool stuff here. Thought I would share. Bryan Gregson Photography | […]
