Welcome to Lee's Fishing Page

Welcome to the next generation of Lee's Fishing Page.

 Lee's Fishing Page is a regional site covering Northern New England and Eastern Canada.  Most of the current members are from Canada, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and one very active user from South Dakota.  Make yourself to home here and make use of what is available to all users.  Users can create their own Photo Albums on the site for all to see, and be able to use the Photo's in forum and articles posted on the site.  The forum on the site allows users to upload Photo's directly into a forum post or upload any other type of file to the forum post.  Soon I am going to implement a Wiki to build a online HELP (Now being built) system on the site so all users can find information on how to use all the site features.  Posting an Article about a fishing trip you took is easy here at Lee's Fishing Page, and I encourage all to do so.  Using Photo's from your own Album you can create a very interesting story that all will find useful to read and view.  The site also features a PM Messaging system that all can use.  There is a Master Calendar that I am now using for Holidays, Special Days and Birthdays.  A personal Calendar does exist for each user so you can enter anything you want in that calendar.  There is a Event List that Fishing Shows can be entered for all to see, this is open to any user to enter what they feel is appropriate.  The Links page is extensive and has many categories for the links.  Two other pages exist that show the Site Features and a better description of each, and a Resource page that has valuable info for all to look at.  The site is open to all, register (Horizontal Menu at the Top) and do an introduction of yourself in the forums to get complete access of the forums.  As a registered user you can create/add Photo's to your Album (Option at the Top Left Column on Home Page) and submit a story for all to read.  Let me know if you plan to do a story (PM me using Message Center - user: LeeGoldsmith) and I will make you a story submitter so you can post that fishing trip you want everyone to know about.

Twilight Drakes by Todd Moen - Upper Columbia River Fly Fishing

 

The Upper Columbia River's 255,000 cubic feet per second of cold trout water and a massive brown drake hatch sets the stage for the film Twilight Drakes. In a flow 160 times larger than Montana's Madison River, the currents and incredible power remind an angler of the absolute authority of moving water. But, big rainbows thrive in this environment and when the brown drakes hatch it becomes an experience few have ever seen. My featured anglers are Jack and Jennifer Mitchell (remember the film Spey Style) and they own Black Bear Lodge in the northeast corner of Washington State. Each evening of this hatch, they set out with headlamps on, prepared to fish the brown drake hatch well into the dark of night. For me, this was a challenging shoot. First, the hatch is concentrated into about twenty days, and the emergence dates can vary, year to year. Second, they hatch late in the evening, in very low light and that is always tough to film. It was a waiting game each evening and as time ticked on, my window of opportunity was slowly closing. Then, the hatch started and the trout feasted as the summer sun went behind the hills, to be replaced by stars and a black sky. The lighting was very difficult, but this test was met by Jack and Jennifer and eventually myself and my video camera. The edit was wrapped around the low light fishing action and the massive river and hatch. Thanks to the Mitchell's and their Black Bear Lodge for giving me the opportunity to film the brown drakes in such an incredible setting.
