Default Hope you can help!

First of all, I wasn't sure if this should be here or viewpoint so please feel free to move it Simon if you feel you should.

I'm wondering if you guys can help me. I've seen some fantastic photography here and wish to enlist your help!

I'm hoping to do some drawings of trout, grayling or salmon (preferably trout at this point), what I need is some photographs to use as reference. What I'm after is close-ups of fish seen swimming in the water, being landed or released. I'm really only interested in the fish rather than the fisherman (not much good at drawing people!!)

If I'm not to embarrassed by my attempts I will send a high quality print of my drawings to people whose photos I used
Either post your images up here or PM me.

Before people ask me if this is a commercial venture I thought I'd better address it. This is a hobby for me and I enjoy drawing for friends and family so at this point I make and take no money. I do however live in a caravan and have been looking for ways to suppliment my meager income, so at some point I may look into selling prints of my drawings.

Below is and example of one of my drawings.

Tight Lines
