Bugs & brookies -- pictures

Recommended Posts

Since I finished the 20-month overhaul of Troutnut.com about a month ago I've been catching up on lost time, trying to make up for all the fishing I missed as I computer-programmed my way through May and June. I put most of my new stream pictures online yesterday, with a bunch of new bugs -- a couple hundred pics in all.

 

I spent a little time trying for big fish, but I really can't get enough of the small-stream brookies. Guess which spot skunked me?

That's the stuff!

Wonderful shots - the saturation really "pops"!

 

How do you like the 20D + 65mm Macro combo? The results seem to speak for themselves but I'm curious about the Pros & Cons of the 65mm?

AMAZING PHOTOS! I was recently looking for a nice photo of a brookie to check the colors for a fly pattern. None of the ones I found were as nice as yours. Thank your for sharing. That looks like a wonderful place to fish and a small piece of heaven.

A place in Salisbury, Mass had a tiny stream that gave up brookies like that to worms and very tiny purple roostertails. It had undercut banks and very smart brookies. NOW IT IS A EXECUTIVE HOME DEVELOPMENT.

"Why do they cut down all of the trees for new homes and then name the streets after the trees?" Unknown

 

Seen on a bumper sticker from Oregon " Grandpa tell me what forests were like." Unknown

 

Don't get me wrong new homes are great but please learn to coexist with nature.
