Mom and Son Returning from Fishing Near Cougar Island

If you want to photograph your friends, family or group, one location I highly recommend is the waters around Cougar Island shortly after the sun comes over the mountains to the east.  Depending on the direction you are shooting you can have mountains front lit, side lit, or flylines backlit like those shots of Doug Horton and his red line.

The photo "Morning Fishing Below Jack Mountain" also was shot from Cougar Island.  

Please remember if you go on Cougar Island to respect the privacy of the campers who have taken the time to obtain a permit to camp.

Whether you are fishing, exploring, kayaking, canoeing, hiking or just relaxing the scenery from so many parts of the lake is inspirational.
