Several brookies gather in a warm tributary to a trout stream in the winter. This is the same location as many of the other brookie school photos on this site, but it's a couple generations later.

This little pool shelters some eager small-stream brook trout, though I caught or frightened them before I took the picture. You can see this pool from
above the water, too.

Brachycentrus "Apple Caddis" struggled more than its kin in escaping its pupal skin, enabling me to take an underwater picture of it from directly below. This is sort of a trout's eye view, but I used the flash for the picture so the transparent
shuck (Shuck: The shed exoskeleton left over when an insect molts into its next stage or instar. Most often it describes the last nymphal or pupal skin exited during emergence into a winged adult.) appears far brighter than it really is.

Here's one of my first test underwater pictures with the Pentax Optio WPi. It's a very shallow riffle in a clear trout stream.

Can you spot the brook trout in this picture? This is a good example of how they seek cover when a danger (my camera) approaches.
There are lots of brook trout here mixed in with a yellow perch at the bottom.
The rock wall across the picture is at least 15 feet away -- this is extremely clear water in a tiny Catskill stream. This plunge pool to a large waterfall holds many brook trout in the 8-9 inch range but they hide too well to spot in this photo.
