Great shots of Osprey's fishing courtesy of Miguel Lasa.com These birds might even do some fishing in Baja!



43 AMAZING photos!!



The most amazing photos of a 'true' trout fisherman. I can't even

Begin to imagine HOW the photographer positioned himself

And/or how long it took to get these shots......

THANK YOU for that link. I love osprey and those are BY FAR the best action shots I have seen----they are fantastic.

Really fun to look at and hope that someday I might get one 1/2 as good as any of his.

Glad everyone enjoyed the link as much as I did. I especially liked the shots of the "double hookups", and with barbless hooks no less. I had never seen that before and I have watched them work the Rogue River here in Oregon a lot.

Yes, those double hook ups were really special. But with those claws, who needs barbs! :biggrin::biggrin:

Locally they call the osprey, įguila pescador. I really like that name---they are not eagles, but they sure know how to fish.

BTW---I have looked at that link several times and have shared it with others who I knew would love it. His photography is a real winner!
