Mountain Standard Photo Shoot

Earlier this fall I was hired to shoot for a great new clothing company located in Boulder, Colorado called Mountain Standard. The shoot was a sunrise to campfire and well beyond dark day. We had everything from scattered clouds in the morning to sun to a passing thunderstorm in the evening. Below are some images from the day. The fishermen are all local Sun Valley fly fishing guides (they guide for Picabo Angler), John Huber, Nick Anderson and Taite Pearson.

Silver Creek Brown Trout

Below are two Silver Creek browns caught today by two brothers. While the fishing was not exactly great the catching was pretty good as the images below may suggest...

Harrison Kapp all grins after landing this brown.

Silver Creek Tricos

While The Nature Conservancy section is closed on Silver Creek from 10 pm to 10 am, there is still fishing to be had downstream of the Killpatrick Bridge. The Pond is deeper and the water is actually approx 4 to 5 degrees cooler below the dam than the water entering the Killpatrick Pond. While Silver Creek is near or at an all time low as far as flow goes, the Killpatrick Pond Project could not have come at a better time. With the the old dam that was a top release now removed along with the deeper water due to dredging, the pond and the portion of Silver Creek downstream of the dam is no longer seeing a warming of water and in fact the water as previously mentioned is even colder below the Killpatrick Pond...

Below is an image of a frenetic pod of fish rising to Trico Spinners on the Double R section of Silver Creek.
