[dryfly256]

I don't know if it's my apple products not letting post pictures, but I went on my first trout trip and caught a 16 inch rainbow trout. im already selling some of my bass rods and reels to get waders and fly tying materials I have been bitten by the trout bug! Thanks for all the info from this forum it helped a lot on my trip.

To post pictures you need to first up load them to a picture hosting site (even facebook) and then you should be able to download them from there to here.

Congratulations! I still remember my first trout I caught 40 years ago. My first was closer to 6".

Grac, with the first trout, they are beautiful, true ?!

If you're going to release the fish, do it gently... :icon_excl

A guide at the local fly shop told me how to do a figure 8 with the fish and release it that way he shot right off after 10 seconds or so.

Nice fish!
I'm sure you're addicted like most of us here. Just a reminder about handling these fish. When you do handle, be sure too that your hands are wet as you'll remove their protective "slime coating" if they're not. Try not to keep them out of the water for too long as it does stress them out. I like to keep them in the net and in the water for photos and if I take them out of the water its usually just out of the net and a few inches from the water.
Good luck with your new found passion.

Are you using this icon

to paste your photo ?

 

[dryfly256]

Yes sir I am I don't know what code to use on photobucket there are 3 different ones HTML direct img. The guide told me about keeping my hands wet, the fish stayed out of the water long enough to take that picture and we started the figure eights and he took off.

Hi...use the IMG link...just double click it and it'll say "copied" then paste it into your post. That's what works for me.

I see water dripping from your hands in the pic...we're all a little paranoid about fish handling, so be patient with us. It does matter and it's good you got info from your fly shop...there's a lot to learn.

Keep fishing

I don't know why photobucket changed their IMG code to post photos.

Let say the location of the photo is xxx and I will substitute a "(" for "[" and ")" for "]"

The code you copied was:

(URL=xxx)(IMG)xxx(/IMG)(/URL)

(URL=http://s804.photobucket.com/user/tango256/media/null.jpg.html)(IMG)http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/tango256/null.jpg(/IMG)(/URL)

Remove everything but the (IMG)

So instead of:

(URL=xxx)(IMG)xxx(/IMG)(/URL)

You get:

(IMG)xxx(/IMG)

(IMG)http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/tango256/null.jpg(/IMG)

Replace the "(" and ")" with "[" and "]". The you will get the photo in your post as below:
