Dear Board,

The same place 3 months apart taken with an old film camera and a modern digital camera. It's Fort Hunter Access looking north in Harrisburg.

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂

Have a lot of favorites but partial to this one of my son in the middle of a banner day. Was out about 12 hours or so and really put the miles on. Not sure how he did so well on a bright blue sunny day but he did.

(Does lake side count?) Backpacked the enchantments traverse in Washington last fall. Some casts to some alpine cutthroat on Leprechaun Lake.

Not the stream, but on the water. Calm early Fall morning.

Lol, just commitment! I love fishing in the snow. I've had some great times in deep snow on the north branch and savage too. Once you get in the water it's easy!

easier walking on the savage when the snow smooths out all the rocks...

Old growth or Virgin, Frost Grape. I’m not sure which. From the research I’ve been able to do it’s estimated to be between 150-250 years old. Biggest I’ve ever found. I thought it was awesome.

That looks like an old painting. Very classic look to it.

I have a tough time picking, but the 1 and 2 are from Maine when I did a mountains and salt trip. 3 is back in the fall in Montana. 4 is a favorite bend in PA. These ended up as my work laptops background.

Those cold spring creeks on a warm summer morning just vibe different!

I've really enjoyed reading through this thread. Thought I should contribute a couple.

1. Brookie from the Laurel Highlands.

2. Last light in CO.

3. Fall on the Esopus.

4. Esopus in spring.

5. Home water.

It was huge. I wish I would have taken a better picture, add something to give it some scale. But it’s still one of my favorite streamside photos. Its trunk was as big as a tree. That’s not a small hemlock behind it. The vine was way bigger around than say a five gallon bucket. I can’t imagine what it must have weighed. It was impressive and unique. I think it’s neat to think this vine might have had grapes that fed some Native Americans or possibly someone when we were still a British colony. Pre 1776.

This is a cabin that actually looks like a home to me, that's right on a beautiful wild trout stream out in Venango county. I say cabin, because I have yet to see anyone there during any of my visits to this stream, both on weekdays and weekends.
I've always said to myself, "I'd LOVE to live in that house".

I'm certain some of the PAFF members know where this beautiful home is.

Me too. Never seen anyone there.

The fish in that stream like to jump. 😉 Well, some of them anyway.
