Notes

Description

Glen Velzy stands in profile on the far right and faces left. He grasps an unknown object in his left hand. With his right hand, he holds a string or line that extends in front of him towards the left. At center, trout dangle from the line held by Glen Velzy. The line is propped up with a stick that has been split. Several fish hang from a string on the right side of the stick and five hang on the left side of the stick. Behind the fish and to the left, Velzy's Buick is parked and the rear end is visible. A trunk sits up on the back of the car and a few spare tires sit on the ground leaning against the back end of the car. Behind Glen on the right, Elizabeth West, Frances West and Ted McClellan's son stand with their backs to the camera. They stand to the side of and face another parked car. A large tree stands on the left behind the Buick. In the near distance, trees stand in the background at right, and in the far distance mountains rise in the background.
