Landscape Pictures of Rivers, Page 24
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!
Here's what the main channel looked like on this trip. The tributaries up in the hills look like this, or worse. Early May isn't fly fishing season yet in interior Alaska.

It's nice fishing for salmon in such clear water, and really fun when they're as aggressive about chasing the fly as these fish were.

I took this picture in very low light and enhanced it. This waterfall is kind of a strange meeting of two worlds: below the falls, there is a parking lot and an old millhouse at a very popular state park. Above the little falls the park is wild and there's little trace of people.
