That is the ONLY draw back to fishing alone.Rich g picture is probably the best way to do it without harming the fish.I have taken them with my foot right next to the fish in the shallows for size referance but didn't like the results.I have a stack of pictures like that but I finally quit taking them.I look forward to my wife coming along to take pictures anymore.The rivers that I fish are not made for two fisherman,so memories will have to do for now.I have caught some high teen maybe 20lb fish on the solduck took pictures but they have always turned out like sh**.I always felt like I did more harm than good.I already have a couple of trips planned in march april with my dad this year so hopefully I will get some good pics.I chose dad because he has a killer dig camera!Plus he has never caught a steelhead!Is he in for a surprise?
