Sprague Lake is a very cool lake in RMNP. Now that's a bunch of fisherman! You think that they might be scaring the fish with so many of them there.

Good capture!

I have always thought of fly fishing as a more solitary sport so this shot surprises me. Were you using a telephoto lens or were they really that close together? The mountains make a nice backdrop.

Thanks Jim, I think it’s a fishing class!

Hi Alan, I was using a 50mm lens on a 1.5 crop sensor camera. They were that close together and part of a fly fishing class

OK - that makes sense. I have a mental image of tangled lines from them being that close to each other.

Cool! I love the lifestyle image! Ha and love @JimFox comment that they might be scaring the fish.

Thanks Larry, that would explain it.
