Landscape Pictures of Rivers, Page 8
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!

This is the Tanana River in Nenana, Alaska. It's one of the Yukon's largest tributaries. I can break my usual "no naming rivers" policy for this picture because there's no fishing (except with bait for burbot) in the Tanana -- it runs with incredibly turbid glacial melt-water in which game fishing is pretty much impossible. You literally can't see an INCH into it, probably not even half an inch.
This is one of the clearest lakes I've ever seen. All the white smudges in the foreground are midges hovering over the bushes.
A tangled canopy of fir trees overhangs a small, completely frozen tributary of a grayling stream in central Alaska.

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

This deer ran at least a hundred yards in front of our canoe before it finally decided to get out of the river. Here it just hurdled a beaver dam.
Distant anglers dunk worms outside a small Catskill town at the meeting of two great trout streams.
I cross a small river after an unsuccessful attempt to find some fall-run landlocked salmon. This picture was taken shortly after another very nice wider picture of the same spot.
