Landscape Pictures of Rivers, Page 5
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 looks like a normal lake at first, but it's actually a natural, shallow widening in the channel of a famous trout stream. On clear days canoeists drift through and watch small trout and suckers swim beneath them. Large brown trout lay hidden in the weeds, hard to catch during the day but a fun challenge for any angler willing to brave the mosquitoes.
This little slough along Chena Hot Springs Road was beginning to freeze over, but the main river was not.

A large spring's short outlet enters the river here and keeps it open during even the deepest cold spells.
I caught a nice brookie a few weeks earlier in this pool at the junction of a split channel in the stream. The huge fallen tree is great cover.
I love the look of this tiny wilderness stream in the Catskills. It hasn't cut any sort of stream channel down into the ground. Instead, it just bubbles down over the boulders on the surface of a hill.

This stretch of a famous Great Lakes salmon tributary produced a nice king for me in the evening after this picture.
