Upper McKenzie River fly fishing through a fisheye lens

Here is a series of photos from a guided fly fishing trip last weekend on the upper McKenzie River, Paradise Campground to Finn Rock. Wild redside rainbow trout were all over the place (plus some “trophy” whitefish) in the early morning, but the bite tapered off in the afternoon. We fished the standard hopper dropper, a half-down golden stone dry with a size 12 possie bugger trailing about 24 inches below. My boss Mark caught a trout somewhere between 19-20″, but I was experimenting with my fisheye lens and it really doesn’t do the fish any justice (third shot). -MS
