Your favorite streamside photo

Wildtrouter inspired me to dig through some photos and see if I could find something similar but with brook trout. Turns out I had a few.

This one is lake side. My girlfriend and I went for a drive to try and get a glimpse of the northern lights during a solar storm last October. The photograph is more vibrant due to the camera shutter speed, but we were still both able to cross it off our bucket list.
 
I’ll see if I can dig up the one I have with the giant wolf spider on top of the rock, and the black phase Timber beneath it.

Edit: It’s in this thread. That was a fun trip.

Rock From Hell

Edit 2.0: My memory was slightly off, both the spider and snake are in fact beneath the rock.

I will deal with the snakes but not the spiders! Nope no way, squish of the boat immediately
 
So, a little different take here. This is McCloud Run, Iowa's 'urban trout stream'. It is a spring creek with heavy limestone influence that runs cold year round. Could possibly make a weak case that it is the 'southermost driftless trout stream. Trout in it, there are. It runs right through Cedar Rapids. Looking south there, 29th st crosses it. On the left bank, the Canadian National railway runs north to south. On the right bank, several hundred feet from a jogging/bike trail is I-380. Fragile to say the least. But, for all intents and purposes, my home waters. 5 min from my office, 15 min from home, 5 min from the middle school my oldest daughter and youngest son attend. I took this pic this morning, fitting some fishing in while my son and daughter were at show choir practice

Encountered 2 young Amish fellas on French Creek this summer. They had lashed large plastic containers to each side to stabilize the canoe. Great idea! This was at the takeout. We had wondered how they got the canoe to and from the creek.
PS I’m really enjoying all these streamside pix. Great idea for a thread!
