Landscape Pictures of Rivers, Page 33
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!
There's a really deep pool below this bridge on a relatively small Catskill stream.
Recent forest service work has stabilized the alder-lined banks of this small trout stream and opened it up to sunlight, which helps increase its productivity.
I took this picture on my way home from Homer, from one of the Denali overlooks on the Parks Highway a ways north of Talkeetna. That is an amazing drive at all times of year, and spring is no exception. The highest, most distant mountain visible is Denali / Mount McKinley, while the rest of the Alaska Range rises over the Chulitna River in the foreground.

The Tanana still has some big chunks of ice overlaying the gravel bars in many areas.
