Landscape Pictures of Rivers, Page 25
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!
It just feels wrong that no trout rose up from this ledge pool to smack a Royal Wulff. There doesn't seem to be much of a trout population here.

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.

It's a real shame that this beautiful piece of Catskill water is off-limits to the public. It was tempting to cast from the road itself.
This is the first good view of the Yukon as you come up from the south.
I was stuck sharing a long pool with several other fishermen on this popular spring creek, but I had the best fishing (the tail of the pool) all to myself, because it took the most walking to get there. The dusk hatch was extremely intense, complex, and difficult.

This beaver dam is an obstacle to trout migration, and the beaver pond is an obstacle to Troutnut migration. It made a big enough swamp that I turned around and headed downstream to fish a tributary of this small stream -- a good choice, as it turned out.
