Photograph of Will P. Mead standing atop a rock in the San Gabriel River and fishing the river. At left, rocks line the right bank of the river in the foreground. The San Gabriel River flows on an arc down from behind the trees at right, towards the left and then curves back to the right and out of frame. Will P. Mead is perched on a rock at left that juts out of the river. He stands in profile, facing right, and holds a fishing rod out in front of him to the right. Trees line the left bank of the river in the near distance along the right edge of the image. Mountains rise in the distance.
