I felt privileged to be asked to photograph the premiere presentation of Old Salt and Wally 13 at Canoecopia 2014 on Sunday.  Their talk, entitled “Planning a Fishing-Based Wilderness Canoe Trip” was most informative, very well-planned, and presented in an eye-pleasing and interesting format. 

It began with a stunning slide show of fishermen showing off their beautiful catches.  I was in a great position for catching the silhouette of Old Salt himself with the photos in the background:

After whetting our appetite with all of the successful catches, the lights came up and Jimbo gave the introduction for the two master fishermen who were going to present the information.

And to break up the flow of slides containing serious data (that can get tedious, after all) we had, regularly interspersed in the show, more photos of those beautiful fish!  Even a beautiful lady with a beautiful fish!  Wow!

After giving us more information than it seemed possible in 50 minutes, the talk retired to the public area, where there were questions for the presenters.
