Slate_Drake_9,

Any updates? Hope those folks are okay?

Hey Arcade

Thank you for kind words. Glad you enjoy the site.

Thanks for the post and pictures. Glad to see you got some action.

If you would like to advertise on the site please contact me.

ezpickins asked about looking for some contributing writers for what he his doing. I am cool the request. I would suggest you email or pm. Probably not a lot to discuss more than that.

Hi Pad,

The out of focus look in the background is accomplished mostly by the lens in what is called setting the depth of field (DOF) controlled by the f-stop of the lens. Many lens can do this with DSLR camera's. You set the lens to capture a very narrow focus area. Everything in front and everything behind the subject is out of focus. Really makes the subject pop.

This is why I really like DSLR cameras as most point and shoot cameras just really can't accomplish this kind of look.

Posted another example below. In this picture you can see both the front area and back area are both out of focus. The DOF is very narrow.

Sorry about the over geekness of a picture.

I have several more to add, but here is one I like of a Green Drake.

Drakes seem to last 7-10 days and depends on the stream as the timing of it all. After about three days females change one final time into a white bodied spinner called coffin flies. Not sure of the final transition of the males. Pictures included were just taken over the last two days.

The Green Drake hatch is an amazing spectacle. I saw Drakes and Coffin Flies on Saturday in Weikert. The Drakes started in Coburn Saturday.

Heading out the door now to the Jam. Should be around in the am for a bit with a green Ford Explorer and a PAFF Euro Sticker...shocker.

See you guys.

The Allen Fly Fishing demo box arrived! Fredrick you won't be disappointed! Heading up to the Jam now. See you guys there.

New chest pack this year. Never carry a net. I don't feel I need to bring a trout in all the way in with a net. If I can touch them and they get off I still count that as a catch.

Thanks and hope we all can enjoy some nicer weather!

David,

I am sure we can fill your box up at the Jam!!

Hi Guys
Let us know when the sulfurs get started at Manatawny.
Dave

Just received the demo rods and gear from Tenkara. Anyone interested in checking out the rods please at the Jam send me an email dkile@paflyfish.com or a PM.

Daniel added a Tenkara rod for the raffle!

I have not used this myself so we all can have some fun trying this out.

Thank you very nice.

It blew me off Kettle Creek a week and half ago and we got it again. Not odd that we are getting the wind, but it does seem very extreme and effecting a large area.

JayL,

I know it is all about the fly fishing for so many and didn't want anything to take that away for you.
