Wildlife Pictures, Page 12
Expert wildlife photographers stake out their quarry like a hunter and wait, sometimes for days, for the perfect shot to appear. I am not one of them. But once in a while on a trout stream the wildlife photo opportunities come to me, and when I can I have my camera ready.

Beavers were a significant impediment to the fishing in many pools on Slough Creek, maybe at least 20 % of the pools I fished. They would come out at the worst times, swim around scaring the fish, and then slap their tails. Meanwhile, I was fishing an 18-foot leader/tippet and trying my best to drop my flies on the water without the slightest splash.
