Fall Fishing - added two shots

[Dbl]

Been busy and haven't had a chance to post a few shots from my annual Rainy Lake fall fishing trip. This year was the most unbelievable weather I have ever experienced for the first week of October. I spent 6 out of 7 days in shorts and a tee-shirt. Never in my 15 years of fall fishing at Rainy have I had a string of weather that nice!

#1 Another nice fight for a Rainy Lake walleye.

#2 Beautiful fall evenings!

#3 The red maples at night!

#4 Sunsets are a joy to witness every night!

#5 The fall colors were turning the week were there. Beginning saw little color, by the end of the week it had really changed.

#6

#7 Evening color.

#8 Not very crowded on a beautiful evening.

#9 One of the largest Smallies I have ever seen! 22 1/2"!

#10 Till next year!

Beautiful series! I love #3! When we shut down the combine at night, we'd stand and stare at the stars for a little while before heading back home. You captured that feeling so well!

Nice work, Dan, and a great time! Looks like late October is paying us back for the gorgeous early October we had.

[Dbl]

Thank you all! Steve, I believe you are correct. We always pay for stretches of nice weather it seems!

It sounds and looks like you had an awesome week. I love the maples at night. I don't believe I've ever seen a photo quite like that.

Beautiful series, I really can't pick a favorite!

Great series, and what fun! All great shots, but like the painted maples and night scene! Well done!

[Canon Guy]

Great series! Looks like a great time.

The stary maples are surreal, I love the richness in the red.

I frequent Rainy Lake in I Falls. The skies are so much clearer up there! Very nice photos! Really like the Red Maples at Night! Id have that made into a poster or something for the cabin!

[Dbl]

I do love Rainy! Here are a couple more of the Maples at night.

Lots of stars when you get out of the Big City! Very nice, Dan!

one of our great pleasures is to see these stars at deer camp. thanks. good luck.

They are great! Did anyone else look up at the moon during the first weekend of deer season and notice something following the moon? I have no idea what it is or what it could have been. Just thought Id ask.
