Pictures of Fish

Believe it or not, sometimes I submit to the weather's mandate that I fish for lesser species than the noble salmonids. The temperatures soar in August and the trout take refuge in hidden spring seeps and the unfortunate hours preceding dawn. I yield to nature's demands, attaching beastly things to my tippet and lobbing them at the likes of muskellunge and smallmouth bass. Oh, life is hard!

My dad finally broke his long, uncanny fishless streak with this nearly 2 inch long common shiner caught on a size 22 Serratella imitation during a Trico spinner fall. Heh heh.

One strange evening on a classic trout stream had brought me nothing but fallfish (albeit nice ones) when I cast outside the main current flow at a fish rising to little flying ants in a back eddy.  It took and, much to my surprise, it was a sunfish I'd never seen before!  Turns out it's a red-breasted sunfish, a common species in the East.

I was looking for king salmon, but this fallfish was the biggest fish I found.  Maybe if I had photoshopped it enough I'd have something to brag about...

Maybe I should have edited my fingers out of the picture to make this smallmouth look a little bit bigger.  I would have to pretend that the size 18 ant in its mouth was, I don't know -- a jointed Rapala?

There are few sights more promising than a large pool on the Beaverkill full of steady rises to a parade of fallen flying ants.  It was a bit of a let-down, however, to learn that most of the rises were from fallfish like this one, and there didn't seem to be a trout in sight.
