This is the smooth tailout of a large, wide flat into a very steep riffle. Fish rise here almost every evening, but it's a difficult place to fool them, with clear water and tricky currents.

All along this fertile river, cedar sweepers like these shelter small brookies, browns, and rainbows.

A remote, lake-like stretch of a trout river provides refuge for large, reclusive browns.
