Landscape Pictures of Rivers, Page 32
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!
This remote small brookie stream rarely gets fished, and perhaps for good reason. I couldn't find any trout.
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 what a lot of the remaining river ice looks like right now, laying in massive chunks up on the bank. Kick it and it shatters into a million little shards.

The crystal clear water of this small northeastern trout stream makes wading tricky since everything looks deceptively shallow. Those of us accustomed to judging depth by the fading clarity in stained water have a little trouble adjusting our perception to such clear streams.
There's a really deep pool below this bridge on a relatively small Catskill stream.
