Pictures of Fish, Page 3
Believe it or not, sometimes I submit to the weather's mandate that I fish for lesser species than the noble salmonids. The temperatures soar in August and the trout take refuge in hidden spring seeps and the unfortunate hours preceding dawn. I yield to nature's demands, attaching beastly things to my tippet and lobbing them at the likes of muskellunge and smallmouth bass. Oh, life is hard!

Serratella imitation during a Trico spinner fall. Heh heh.
Fallfish-face.

There are few sights more promising than a large pool on the Beaverkill full of steady rises to a parade of fallen flying ants. It was a bit of a let-down, however, to learn that most of the rises were from fallfish like this one, and there didn't seem to be a trout in sight.
