Landscape Pictures of Rivers, Page 16
The appeal of trout fishing is tied to the landscapes in which they live. They need the kind of clean, cold water found mostly in pristine rivers in pristine places that lend themselves to landscape photography. I've begun to take that hobby seriously too, although the best times of day for pictures conflict with the best times for fishing!
I've caught several brookies in this hole, although on the day of this photograph I found none.
What was once an excellent trout stream now meanders through a swamp as a shallow, silty beaver pond. The ground is anything but firm, and I was insane to try to navigate it on foot.
I got several nice insect photographs in this calm pool, part of an extremely tiny side channel of a small trout stream. When I eventually waded into it to get a better angle, several Hendrickson nymphs panicked and emerged.
