I was very upset when I arrived Saturday morning to load my fish and start snapping pictures. I completely forgot my flash bag, so I had no flash for the whole day. So I snapped only a couple.

*No idea on name.

Orange/Red fish are my Achilles heel, I have a difficult time getting the exposure correct. I need more practice.

This is a very hard fish to photograph (at least for me), it is a small White Cloud Minnow.
You can see that it got nipped by another fish, a scale is missing.

Love it Mike!
I wish he showed a bit more blue in the face though. But I am very glad he was showing at all.
