Landscape Pictures of Rivers, Page 58
The appeal of trout fishing is tied to the landscapes in which they live. They need the kind of clean, cold water found mostly in pristine rivers in pristine places that lend themselves to landscape photography. I've begun to take that hobby seriously too, although the best times of day for pictures conflict with the best times for fishing!



A very 'early spring' sight.

I had excellent luck sampling burrowing mayfly nymphs here in the headwaters of a trouty small stream.


Dusk over a frozen grayling stream in Alaska.

I had to really search for a while to find a sliver of opening water at this sampling site far in the headwaters of a mighty warmwater river.

Some pretty winter scenery in Alaska.

A couple Canada geese take off from the scenic but nasty, swampy, and apparently troutless headwaters of a small, beaver-ravaged stream.
