Some people say that if you do something a lot and then you have a spell where you are not successful in that endeavor, you have a stink on. All you can do is keep at it, change tactics and try to "get the stink off." That is how it seems with my Steelheading right now. I need to do something different, go to a different spot or in other words change it up a bit.
Darren Upchurch and I got up at 3:30 am Friday and drove down to the Clearwater to fish. We had a great day of casting but failed to connect with any fish. The weather was great and I didn't fall down or break any equipment so I consider the trip a success.

Here is something new. In the past I had been taking pictures with a point and shoot Nikon. On the last river trip the camera quit working. No I didn't drop it in the river! I took it back to Best Buy and since it was under warranty they sent it away for repair. Last week it was returned and they were unable to fix it. I was then given a credit and I needed to purchase a new camera. I have had three point and shoot cameras in the past several years and all of them quit due to the same problem. No I didn't drop them! The lens cover stuck open and the camera failed.
My answer to this problem was that I do not want a camera with those silly retractable lens things. This left me with the choice of three smaller non DSRL or the more expensive DSRL cameras. I decided upon a Canon SX50 HS. These were the first photos taken with this camera.
With the new camera I was able to goof around while I fished and the photo results make the results of no fish much easier to take. I didn't get the stink off, but I did learn a bit about the new camera.
