RiverKeeper Flies Outtakes

I hope you get a chuckle from a few RiverKeeper Flies outtakes. How many times have you tried to take a grip and grin picture and the fish explodes at exactly the moment you press the shutter release? This quick release happens more times than I care to admit! I’ve included a few moving water and fish images as well. At the end of today’s post, I share the latest fly tying video from my YouTube channel.
