Landscape Pictures of Rivers, Page 94
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 large spring's short outlet enters the river here and keeps it open during even the deepest cold spells.
This is not a sunset picture, but a midday picture in Alaska in the winter. The sun is low in the sky all day at that time of year.

A thick layer of ice clings to the branches of low bushes over an Alaskan river in the winter.
Here's another of my very frigid early nymph sampling sites.
This tiny spring creek is extremely fertile, and I sampled many interesting insects I didn't find anywhere else. The water was completely open even though other nearby spring creeks were frozen over and the snow was three feet deep.
This is a small, photogenic tributary of the main river I was photographing in Alaska.
I had hoped to sample some nymphs here, but I didn't bring an ice auger.
