Here's another beautiful trout, a 17.5 inch stream resident rainbow. He took a grouse & brown soft hackle during a Hendrickson spinner fall over a riffle--probably as a drowned spinner, but maybe as one of the caddis pupae that I suspect were hatching earlier in the day. This fish was in amazing condition, and it leapt clear of the water at least three times.

You've really got to see this one full-size to enjoy it. It's my first attempt at a 360 degree panorama stitched together with the latest and greatest version of Adobe Photoshop.
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.

Here my dad's fighting a very nice arctic grayling, and this photo caught it mid-jump at the end of his line. This one eventually shook the hook, but we both caught many more in the same size range.
This 15 inch brown trout is the fattest I've ever seen in my life. It's not full of eggs or anything; it's just in
astonishingly good condition. It took a
Hexagenia limbata nymph imitation in the evening before the hatch.

What could be better than catching wild brookies below a waterfall?
