MJL Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) It’s the last day of September which marks the end of trout season for many stretches of river. If there is one thing I’ll miss, it’s stalking the river banks for colourful brookies. The last few days I was able to spend a couple hours in the morning stalking small streams for these pretty little jewels. The streams are cold, the bugs are gone, the leaves are turning orange, most other river anglers are salmon fishing elsewhere, what’s not to like? 1 brookie at the crack of dawn. I got to test out my remote flash system which involved climbing a tree at 5:30am to strap my 2 camera flashes and then falling into the river. I was soaked but at least I got 1 picture out of it Hide & seek It really is an Atlantic salmon this time Had to sort through a lot of these...I was surprised when I caught a few on muddler minnows swung down & across. Male brookie in spawning colours The red dots on the brookies from one stream were almost glowing underwater. Bye for now brookies, hello steelhead!

Lunkerhunter Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 wow those underwater shots are by far the nicest i have seen. was that as a result of your lighting thing you mentioned? or just the camera and clear water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guidofisherman Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Very impressive, clear underwater shots. Would you mind sharing your camera settings and technique used to get such great shots. I get the "falling out of the tree" part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
