Landscape & scenery photos from the Namekagon River
Here I fruitlessly pound one of the best-looking holding lies I've ever seen for nice trout. I've never so much as hooked a trout there.
The 5 am mist rises off a classic hole on a favorite river. I'd just spent (Spent: The wing position of many aquatic insects when they fall on the water after mating. The wings of both sides lay flat on the water. The word may be used to describe insects with their wings in that position, as well as the position itself.) the last few hours of that moonless night working this hole with big pusher flies in the pitch black darkness, running on caffeine until about 4:15 and adrenaline from that point on, after feeling a whale of a brown trout on my line for about 15 seconds. Unfortunately the fish spit the hook, but it was an unforgettable experience.
A 19-inch smallmouth puts a hefty bend in my 5-weight.
A large spring's short outlet enters the river here and keeps it open during even the deepest cold spells.
A large mink swims around a trout stream in early spring.
