Trout River Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This image was taken close to where the small river ends in the lake, and the river is where the trout go to spawn this time of year.

Trout are usually found in cool (10-15°C), clear streams and lakes, and understanding how moving water shapes the stream will improve your chances of finding and catching trout.

In most streams, the current creates a riffle-run-pool pattern that repeats itself over and over. A deep pool may hold a big brown trout, but rainbows and smaller browns are likely found in runs. Riffles are where you will find small trout during the day, and larger trout coming in during morning and evening feeding periods.

Trout generally feed on other fish and different insects, and the diet of the day will give an indication of which bait will be successful. And if anything else fails, try worms..!

Some are wondering about the red fruit to the left side, they are rowan berries and very popular with the smaller birds.

----------

Trout are a number of species of freshwater and saltwater fish belonging to the Salmonidae family. Salmon belong to the same family as trout but, unlike most trout, most salmon species spend almost all their lives in salt water.

Hi Pablo,
Autumn colours add extra charm to this beautiful brook scene. Great place for fishing. Well framed with silhouette of a spruce on the right. Red dots, are they rowan berries?

pierrefonds (26407) 2009-10-16 8:05

Hi Pablo,

The reflections on the water of the river is an asset to the composition. The tree are a natural frame to the river. The point of view takes our eyes toward the trees in the background which is giving depth to the photo. The afternoon light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Greg1949 (8511) 2009-10-16 8:27

Nice one Pablo, the autumn colors are superb and the stream is refreshing looking. Soon it will be frozen and buried under feet of snow and saving this moment is important.

Dear Pablo

Local trouts we get in Thailand from time to time, but they are very expensive in comparison with other fish. It's a lovely autumn photograph with warm colors and fine sharpness. Its a place to seat down an look the trouts jumping, very peaceful. Well done

best regards from Alor Star

vou escrever o comentário em português, para ser mais preciso do que o inglês que possuo!
Sua foto está um cartão postal! Nítida, bem ilumindada, um cenário paradisíaco com um riacho de águas cristalinas que "enche" os olhos.
Um show de mostra.
Parabéns e abraços,

A fine view of this lovely place. The harsh rocks of the stream are matched by the soft bushes snd trees. The warm afternoon light gave you interesting colours and created a very intense and alive atmosphere, thanks also to the well balanced composition. A place where I'd surely like to go!

Best greetings,

phwall (5644) 2009-10-19 16:27

Hi Pablo,
I have always been interested in game fishing but so far I have not had the inclination to go in search of the mighty trout. I have a good friend who continually tells me that dry fly fishing for trout leaves game fishing out in the cold and I don't know what I'm missing.
Your shot has inspired me to take up my friends offer, if the scenery is this beautiful then I guess catching a trout would just be a bonus.
A superb natural capture, the warm colours of the bush land surrounding the stream look beautiful.
Lovely POV and composition.

Best wishes
Peter
ps thank you for adding me to your favorites list, I'm looking forward to exchanging comments.

molla (6885) 2009-10-20 1:29

Pablo!
I would off cause like to have a stream with trout in. But it'll do what I have.
A very beautiful autumn picture with rowan berries hanging heavy from the branches.
In Sweden it is said that if there area lot of berries that are very hard winter to come

Ciao Pablo,
questi sono i posti che adoro, un paesaggio incantevole e incontaminato, un ruscello che scorre tra gli splendidi colori autunnali.
POV, luce e sharpness sono assolutamente perfetti.
Un caro saluto.
Giorgio

hardyuno (2387) 2009-10-20 3:11

Hi Pablo,
it's a really very nice autumn scene. The diagonal POV of the small river leads the eye very gentle into the picture. The autumn colours, the fine depth and sharpness are pretty good. TFS and for the fishing advice, too.

Have a nice day

belido (16627) 2009-10-20 6:06

Hi Pablo,

I think I too late for this one...everything was said about this breat nature photography. But I personally like more is the lighting/white balance which is superb. The little rocky river in diagonal surrounded by vivid green trees is such a nice element. Very well done!

Lovely shot taken 3 years back! I didn't know that trouts and salmon belong to the same family. The perspective is well created with the small river and fine contrast with the surrounding greens. Like the reflection of the sky in the river water...good work!

Hi Pablo,
The stream is partly look like a little waterfall, beautiful landscape, nice greenery plants shining by yellowish sunlight, full with the energy of life, good pov to show it, thanks for sharing.

alvaraalto (5231) 2009-10-24 8:58

Hi Pablo,

Good info with this lovely picturesque image.
As a matter of fact I do remember this kind of rivers more of the insects than of trout. Especially the willingly biting mosquito’s.

groet Rob

bakes888 (18257) 2009-10-24 22:17

Hi Pablo.
Worms are strictly forbidden where we go fishing, all lures have to be totally artificial, but the trout are good when you catch one ;-).
Great photo, wonderful light and colours. Good depth to the composition also. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good Sunday, Paul.

anducina (8113) 2009-10-25 23:06

Nice fall scene-the warm colors of the trees, the clear river, the soft autumn trees. I like the peace of that place...

Hello Pablo, interesting note and surely written by a trout fisherman ???. Lovely and tranquil spot with plenty of fresh clean air & water, no doubt. Well framed scene with excellent colour & sharpness, those little red berries adding colour & interest. I am not familiar with the Rowan Berrie but they must be delicious.
Thanks
Regards
Santo

erdna (5356) 2009-10-29 10:57

It's beautiful Pablo! The closest I got to something similar to this beautiful scene was when I was living in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I like the sharpness and accuracy of your exposure with good balance between shadow and highlight details. That consistency is throughout your composition.

Andre'

emilbo (9455) 2009-11-02 12:22

Salut Pablo,
J'ai toujours préféré pêcher sur les rochers au bord d'une rivière et j'irais bien jeter un coup de ligne dans la belle fosse en avant-plan. Le bel éclairage et la bonne composition mettent bien en valeur cette belle scène automnale. Un beau paysage à peindre.
Félicitations!... et bonne soirée,
Emilius

pasternak (13400) 2009-11-03 4:57

A very pleasing shot, especially the berries are wonderful. Good exposure control.

Cheers

stego (22374) 2009-11-04 16:12

Hi Pablo,
It's a beautiful bucolic scene, that looks very autumnal to me despite it lacks much of the reds and oranges that are more usually associated with Autumn. No matter how my recently deceased uncle tried to influence me to like fishing when I was a little boy, I was never a great adept of this hobby, but I was always glad to go fishing because I liked to be by the water enjoying nature peacefully - I see the same in my son when he goes fishing with my father-in-law, - so it makes much sense your interesting note about trouts. TFS.
Regards,
José

mortijo (12286) 2009-11-05 13:21

An absolute marvel to look at. Warm autumn colors, the tiny red spots in the bushes, made by the berries, and than the small river seeking its way through this beautiful landscape. Great.

maloutim (3983) 2009-11-15 6:01

Hi Pablo!
What a beautiful stream and setting! And reading your very interesting note, I presume fishing must be one of your hobbies!
It can't be bad spending a day in that wonderful place even if you don't catch anything!
I like the reflection of the blue sky and the nice decorative rowan tree!
I know those trees thrive in Northern European countries. I have seen them in Scotland and in Sweden. And although the birds love the berries, there are so many that they are still there to decorate the tree!
I also planted one in our garden in Brittany, but it's not doing very well, and as there are hardly any others around, the berries are eaten even before they are ripe!
Thanks for sharing! Best regards!
Marie Louise.
