Here's a 12" brown trout on the line with a size 14 Royal Wulff in his mouth in a small, very clear northeastern trout stream.

Many Finger Lakes tributaries have impressive waterfalls, but this is one of the best. The plunge pool is extremely deep and often holds nice fish.

The crystal clear water of this small northeastern trout stream makes wading tricky since everything looks deceptively shallow. Those of us accustomed to judging depth by the fading clarity in stained water have a little trouble adjusting our perception to such clear streams.

Here's one of my first test underwater pictures with the Pentax Optio WPi. It's a very shallow riffle in a clear trout stream.

Here's a school of creek chubs.
