Here are this week’s images from the water. These are all from the Metolius in the last couple of weeks.

The image of these mating grasshoppers was created with a technique called “focus stacking”. I took six pictures and merged them together, taking the “in focus” portions of each to create the final image.
The next image is releasing a Rainbow Trout…the water causing an abstract look.

I found a Golden Stone male mating with a Cascades Stone. You know they are cousins…and shouldn’t be doing this!

Here is a Bull Trout under a log.

And the same fish sharing its spot with a nice Rainbow. Very surprised to see them so close!

Because this Bull Trout is trying to eat the Rainbow Trout my wife hooked!

Yes, it was a good-sized fish!

Enjoy…go fish!
Wow, you’re putting some very nice pics up each week-better & better!
Thanks Ed…happy to see you enjoying my little “picture show”.

Great pictures what brand camera and lens
Thanks Kirby. I use a Nikon Z6ii with the 24-120mm. The grasshopper was with my 105mm macro. I wrote a post a year ago about My Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Cameras. You can find it here – https://www.johnkreft.com/my-fly-fishing-and-fly-tying-cameras/
