This shot was so unexpected that I did not have time to set the camera accordingly. The result was an over-exposed image with blown highlights. But so what? The shot works. And the look of awe in my daughter watching the dog, just adds even more to the image.

This huge char was caught on a fly by Craig Blackie (holding rod). It was over 24 lbs and probably the largest fly-caught char in history. It was released seconds after this photo. Both guys in this shot are fish biologists and specialize in Salmonid morphology and taxonomy.

Okay, so where was this? Tree River of course.

A quiet morning moment during our expedition deep into the northern wilder team. We collected fish, water samples and even sediment.
