Nature Pictures from Trout Streams, Page 11

Here's a 12" brown trout on the line with a size 14 Royal Wulff in his mouth in a small, very clear northeastern trout stream.

This was my first Atlantic Salmon ever, a 23" landlock from a Finger Lakes tributary. It rose up from the murky water, gulped my bright streamer near the surface, and sank down, almost like the rise form of a trout sipping a tiny bug. I set the hook and landed the fish after a fight that exceeded my high expectations.

Floating down the North Fork

This rock formation overlooks a grayling stream on the central Alaskan road system.

I won't say where this picture was taken. I wouldn't want to give away anyone's secret little stream.

This beautiful brookie comes from a very remote, crystal-clear small stream in the Catskills.

I took some neat underwater pictures of salamander larvae in this pool a few weeks earlier.
