ARGENTINA - EXTREME

Todd and Brian traveled 40 hours from Orgeon (cold, windy and blowing snow) to LA, then Dallas, then Buenos Aries, then Bariloche and then a 2 hour drive to the banks of the Chimehuim River (cold, windy and blowing snow). Todd is shooting some great extreme weather fly fishing video. I have the cold hands to prove it. We have found several nice browns that have hit streamers in the fast, cold but clear water. Stay tuned.

VERY COOL COLORING CONTEST

In issue #8 - November 1/December 31- We have a downloadable Catch Magazine coloring page. Just click on the link and it will be sent to your inbox, for free of course, and you can print as many as you want. Let the kids go crazy. Take a simple point and shoot photo, like the one above and send it to info@catchmagazine.net and it will be entered to win some great prizes. The above photo was taken with a point and shoot digital, about two feet above the page with some fill flash. If you have Photoshop or a photo correction program, try adding a little contrast and hit the shadow reducer tool. That will equalize the effect of the flash a bit. For the contest, every entry has an equal chance of winning. Please put the artists name and age on the coloring page. In your e-mail to us, please put coloring contest in the subject line. Subscribers get a 2X entry advantage!!! The prizes are -
KIDS 1 to 10 = An art supply package, age appropriate.
OVER 10 (yes Mom and Dad you can enter, also) - A Catch Magazine tee-shirt. We are sure to add a prize or two for an absolutely fantastic coloring effort, or for the entry from the farthest away, etc. Thanks to Alex Parker-Smyth, from Bend, Oregon for this fine work of art. Parents, please send the coloring page to any teachers you know and your kids friends.
