Nice fish there Dave. Looks like a nice trip.

Hey, what kind of indicator is on Dave's rod? Looks like a 2 gram Raven float.

And using the 10-24mm Nikor lens? Beautiful photos Coley.

5 gram Raven floats Sam.

Most of the pics were with my 24-70 f2.8, the few wide ones were the 10-24, and the pano was with my LX7.

Didn't have much time for working on "good" images. Dave had me chasing the net and his fish around most of the time. Glad you enjoyed a few of the snaps though.

I always enjoy your photos Coley. They're top notch work. Give me some inspiration on my photography.

Almost right on about the Raven float.

C/g what's your game plan when using high quality photo gear
over water? Other than not falling in....

We have our waterproof P&S but when the wild fish are running it's nice to carry the good gear.

Pelican case on the boat, expose the gear for brief periods of time. Keep a lens cleaning/drying kit handy.

Don't fall in the river, don't fall in the river, don't fall in the river.

Dry everything out when you get home or to warmer/drier places at night.

Extended trips are the most difficult with regard to sensitive gear management, not to mention other things.

There were a handful of rainbows in that series, many more that didn't get their portrait taken.

When fishing the kenai it is extremely rare that you catch any trout or dolly that doesn't have quite a few scars from previous battles. One of the fish we saw on this outing was as clean as any trout I've seen, but those are the exception not the norm on the kenai. I'd suspect that most decent sized trout there get caught on a weekly basis if not more frequently.

The older fish do get smart, but it doesnt take too long to figure out where they live and how they behave. They can't stop eating, to add another wound you just have to know where they are at and what they are eating.

The kenai has one of the most dense trout populations of any river in the world, but the angler to trout ratio is probably higher than average.

You didn't ask me but I agree with all Coley said. Pelican case is a must. But . . if you do enough shooting around water an occasional drowned camera is the price of doing business. I have drowned three . . . so far.

I know a few who pack their camera's in Pelican cases. I have one that I need new foam insert for, or find the right size Lowe Pro case that fits inside of it. (Used now, they don't make it)

I've been fortunate so far, no drowned cameras. But, it is a little nerve racking wading with a exposed camera.

So Dave, did you get your camera gear repaired? Or do you have to replace the camera body and/or lens?

I carry my cameras in a 5 Gallon sized dry bag that I place a towel in the bottom in case any water might get in it, which hasn't happened since I started using it in the mid 1990'.

I had an extra optical port for my underwater housing so I cut a circular hole in the dry bag and cemented it onto the bag with a melting glue that is used for fiberglass. This allows me to take photos with it of fish underwater as I dunk the bag below the surface. I have to shoot blind, but if works for me.

In really rough water like river rafting I will attach the bag to a part of the craft using a caribiner. (sp)

I normally have one camera sitting in the top of my day pack where I can reach it quickly so it is completely stored. Don't ever set a camera on a boat seat, that is an invitation to drowning unless it is a waterproof model.

Here's a few images done with the dip and dunk bag.

I would think a waterproof P&S would be the best for most folks.
