A bit more about that camera I found
So, I looked into that waterproof digital camera I found and I'm even more impressed. The camera is an Olympus Stylus 850 SW. Here's a terrible picture of the camera taken with my computer:
I looked at the metadata for the last photograph taken with the camera (which looks like it was taken just upriver from where I found the camera). The last photograph taken with the camera was on July 29. I found the camera, half submerged in the river, on August 28 (almost a month later). I contacted Teton River Lodge about the camera, but they haven't returned my call. I'm going to be a bit more pro-active, although it's a long shot. Here's the last photograph taken with the camera before I found it. If you know these guys I'd love to get them their camera.
I thought I'd try the camera today and see how it would work as a fishing point-and-shoot. It seemed to do fine. Although I didn't submerge it. Here's a fish I caught on the Fall River (I was pretty surprised because I didn't think there were cutthroats on the Fall River).

You should try uploading the pictures to Flickr, and see if anyone can help identify the owner... --Kris
you could also try putting an ad in the paper, or craigslist or both. And maybe try calling Samsung and see if anyone has registered the camera's serial number.
Jimmy's might be able to advertise it too. Just a thought, I wonder if the fact they have a backpack and a rod tube if they were actually with the lodge. If they are local I imagine the fly shops would be the best option. Otherwise, nice camera.
Beautiful fish Darren.
