Fly Fishing
It was a rainy and cloudy day and made it a challenge to get more than a few shots when I took my customers fly fishing. I was pretty nervous standing in the middle of a river with my camera gear! Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

My comments would be a little less flash, a bit more ambient, and watch the clouds in the first one (along the rod).
I haven't been fishing for God only knows how many years but I still remember how powerful even small streams can be and how slippery the rocks can be.
I aint nearly as quick with my reflexes as I once was, so I would be nervous as well, but all is insured.

If the former ... and in water of appropriate depth, I'd suggest either sitting or kneeling, with maybe some sort of support for the camera ... all so's you can get it closer to water level, get more dramatic (imo) shots ...and be comfortable using it.
Kneeling is generally my preference, because when combined with an angle finder, you can get lower, more conveniently ... your ... and other's mwv, of course

Don't know is you would have caught the line color in #2 without flash.

This was a one off thing. I was shooting as low as I could without losing my balance and falling in.
Understood ... have been in similar situations ... albeit with lakes / wildlife, not rivers / fishermen ... that's why I suggested the options I've preferred to use when the environment allows
