A Thousand Words with Warren Platt

Thousand Words with Warren Platt

Two photos of six men and women on what looks like a Sunday outing. All smiles from everyone except for the two in the background of the lake. What perfect timing from the photographer! The women's hats are to die for!

Notice that there seemed to be a swimming suit swap somewhere along the line.  I love the man's swimming robe, or whatever it is.  Know nothing else about this photo.

Two men in loooooong canoe.  Don't know what they're after but the large net would handle whatever it is.  On the back of the photo is just an advertisment for the photographer and he's from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.

This photo shows three men with fish.  A great old photo from Michigan! "Macatawa Park, Mich., Aug. 18, 1899" written on back.

This photo shows a man and a woman in front of barn.  I know nothing about this photo, but it does look like a gun and a fishing pole might have been a necessity.

This is a photo of W. R Kincaid and two friends, Ouray, CO, 1925.  Bet the fishing on that Creek wasn't very good the next day!

[Ed. Note: For the next couple of months, I'm turning the popular "A Thousand Words" over to Warren Platt, who's sent in some fantastic early fishing images. Here's his first offering]:
 

This photo shows two women in Sunday fishing clothing. Both seem to have their own tackle boxes and there are two long handled nets on the ground in front of them. On back of photo it says, "Vancouver 1914"

Another great vintage image from Doug Jobe. This one shows the vintage firearms by the vintage fishing tackle, with the bass in front. Cool!
