Most excellent photo! But you should not take credit for shooting it unless you did so.

It is a world class photo. You should have given yourself credit for it or otherwise made it clear.

Here is a photo of me fishing in Utah. But I live in California. How can that be? ![[Linked Image]](http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i414/yo-andrew/fishing-wally-8_zpscdagat2g.jpg)

Nice photo, regardless of all the above chit chat. Maybe you can tell some more about it? Thanks.

Don't know much about it other than it was taken in TN. I found it on the Weather Channel website. A few times a year they post a series of photos. This one of about 64 photos in the last series.

Nice photo. The fishermen are risking their rod tips carrying them in front. IMO Rod tips should follow not lead.

I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

I have seen a few vehicles doing this. I suppose it isn't as bad as walking tip forward. I just mentioned it is better to carry the rod tip rearward for anyone that had not thought of doing it. I always pulled my flyrod apart at the ferrule, folding it and placing it with line still in guides into one of those bags that has space for the reel. one of these: http://stillwaterflyshop.com/sage-ballistic-single-case?gclid=CI6Ww9CZx88CFQltfgod4wQMUQ

I carry a rod either way, but I would never leave a rod in the open on the hood of a truck going down the highway.
