Underwater River Scenery Pictures

Here's another view of the pool under the waterfall shown in this picture. This time one of the pool's many brook trout is visible, but well-camouflaged. Can you find it?

I love this mossy plant on so many of the rocks in this stream.

Not a bad home if you're a brook trout.

This little pool shelters some eager small-stream brook trout, though I caught or frightened them before I took the picture. You can see this pool from above the water, too.

The rock wall across the picture is at least 15 feet away -- this is extremely clear water in a tiny Catskill stream. This plunge pool to a large waterfall holds many brook trout in the 8-9 inch range but they hide too well to spot in this photo.

I love this "above & below" landscape from a popular Catskill trout stream. The picture is not doctored to show both perspectives. Instead, my Pentax Optio WPi digital camera is able to take pictures with the tiny lens half-in, half-out of the water.

Here's one of my first test underwater pictures with the Pentax Optio WPi. It's a very shallow riffle in a clear trout stream.
