I hope you saw this week’s post about fall PMDs. I shared several images of insects I found in an eddy. I’ll begin this week’s images from the water post with a few more. I hope you enjoy this week’s portfolio.
We’re seeing larger than normal kokanee from Lake Billy Chinook. Large trout are staging behind them too.

PMD floating down the river.
Dragonfly
And yes, an occasional fish…very occasional.
Enjoy…go fish!
Here are this week’s images from the water. These images are from Hebgen Lake as we travelled to Yellowstone National Park to fish the Yellowstone River. We hoped to find a few Callibaetis mayflies, and found these insects along the water’s edge. These are Trico mayfly spinners. The colorful translucence from their wings are impressive….
Here are a few more images from the water – Madison River edition from our recent trip.
I’ve been taking a lot of pictures while on the water in the last couple of weeks. We haven’t seen many fish rising, so I watch the river to see what catches my eye. I pack a couple extra lenses with me and pull them out to capture a variety of pictures. Thanks for all…
Here are this week’s images from the water. While waiting for fish to rise, I have plenty of time to look around and enjoy the fall colors on my home waters, the Metolius River. I hope you enjoy this week’s portfolio. Fall colors A fly fisher and his dog. Capturing the sunlight breaking over trees….
We are still in Patagonia, but I’d like to share a few images from Chile. An image of our guide, Enzo from Coyhaique River Lodge. Here is Chester, who does an excellent job hunting rabbit around the lodge. Blocking the Patagonia wind after a streamside lunch. Ibis in the field. We found these everywhere driving…
Here are the final images from Iceland. Our visit was timed with the annual bird migration. While not a “birder”, I find them beautiful and admire the coloration. As a fly tyer, my mind periodically found myself at the vise creating flies using their feathers. I hope you were able to read my original Images…
You have a knack for capturing the essence!
Hey John – Thanks for these beautiful close-ups of fall mayflies…These are pushing me to get on the streams NOW!! Great weather for a few days too.
Great photos, John. Love the under water shots. That big rainbow looks hungry.
Thanks Wayne…actually, they are kokanee salmon from Lake Billy Chinook.
As always John, you photographs are stunning.
