Landscape Pictures of Rivers

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.

My friend Ian throws a fine cast in a section of river that's open year-round. From the bridge, we spotted a very nice brown nymphing, but neither of us could get it to take.

I captured this sunset over one of my favorite holes.

This beautiful, remote stretch of one of the lesser-known large Catskill trout streams produced my only trout in two days of slow fishing, a 9 inch brown. Better than nothing! In fact, even "nothing" in this setting is really something!

This swift little stream is one of my favorites. It harbors an even mix of brook and brown trout and a mix of insect species very different from other streams I frequent.

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, and some of them move into the narrows around the lake to feed during prime hatches. They're a fun challenge for any angler willing to brave the mosquitoes.

I won't say where this picture was taken. I wouldn't want to give away anyone's secret little stream.

This is one of my favorite pictures of a favorite stretch of a favorite river.
