Odd Pictures from Trout Streams, Page 5
These odds and ends didn't fit into any of my other categories. Sometimes a really weird (or slightly twisted) picture opportunity presents itself and it's hard to can't pass it up. I think the oddest picture so far was the crayfish that grabbed my nymph and held on long enough for the camera.
Where are chest waders when you need them?

Crossing a tributary of Windy Creek. My waterproof leather boots & Kuiu gaiters kept my feet dry here, but I had less luck in the thigh-deep holes of whitewater in rain-swollen Windy Creek itself a couple hours later.

Denali Highway back in view after hiking 19 miles.
The Gulkana Glacier is an iconic landmark for north-bound travelers (or, I suppose, south-bound travelers looking north) on the Richardson Highway. Thankfully, its silty runoff drains not into the Gulkana River drainage but into Phelan Creek in the Yukon drainage instead.

The NY DEC has installed these trout habitat improvements on a small upstate stream. I found that most fish in the stream orient to them.

Looking up toward the pass we had to go through to start our second day hiking.
Taiga looks pretty happy here for a dog with several porcupine quills hanging from her chin.
