My 2009 - Year in Review (lots of photos)

On the old board I had posted some warm water photos from a family owned small stream. I just began small stream trout fishing this year, and had a fantastic one. Here are my photos. None of these streams have ever been stocked (legally) and all fish are wildly reproducing.

Thats all for now. Sorry for so many.

Great pics. Those wild brookies sure have a lot of color. Thanks.

Thanks Terry - they certainly do. One of the reasons I love 'em.

The close up picture of the brook trout (third from the bottom) is amazing. Its so dark, it must have spent quite some time hidden from the light. Great pictures

Thanks - that brookie was caught in the same spot as the rainbow below it, which is a lot darker than the rainbow above (which was caught in a much lighter bottomed section of the stream).
