Oscoda, MI Posts: 2611 | Small fish in small streams are underappreciated. Most people want big fish in their pictures, but holding these small jewels of nature in your hand is often more than enough. The closest trout stream to me is a small stream with mostly small fish, but every once in while a much bigger one comes up that compared to the others looks just huge, like the 13" rainbow I caught last week. But there is something so special about these small, brightly colored fish... Jonathon | |
No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||

Fairbanks, Alaska Posts: 212 | You have just started to get me itchy for some exploration. Not necessarily to go search out this creek, but to go find some hidden world of my own. Great photos, Samuel | |

Moderator Pleasant Gap, PAPosts: 1197 | Great gallery, Jason. In some of the images, I think the light in the water is more beautiful than the fish (although the fin closeup is maybe my favorite pic). I was wondering how you captured the fish images. I see the line in at least one of them, but were all of these taken while they were still on the line? Sometimes after releasing a fish they will sit long enough at my boot to take some good pics if I had a camera, but I don't know that I've ever knowingly approached a fish that I haven't caught closely enough to take a good photo without spooking it from its lie. Have you ever taken photos of undisturbed fish holding in the water? -Shawn | |

Site Editor "Bear Swamp," PAPosts: 1681 | Beautiful pictures, Jason! It's easy to see how the dollies in this little creek would go a long way toward satisfying a "brookie" craving. | |
