The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.
This specimen resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

When the fishing lets up, I grab my Nikon and spend time shooting various subjects, usually lakes and rivers. I was traveling back home from a Fly Fishing trip in the Eastern Sierras of CA last month and decided to take a full day shooting images.
This is a shot across Silver Lake situated in the middle of the Sierras about 80 miles from Sacramento. This is Thunder Mountain... it sits north of Silver Lake between the lake and Kirkwood Ski Resort.
