Wild Brown Trout
Sighting trout is what I do. Trout fishing here on the West Coast is advertised as one of the top tourist attractions. Being a Trout Fishing Guide that practices catch and release I can play my part in trying to insure their survival and looking after their environment while the sport of fishing is being enjoyed.
I am out quite a few days of the season without anglers checking on areas, number of fish and enjoying the isolation and solitude for a spot of photography. To experience the ultimate natural beauty of where trout abide in this unique environment beneath the spectacular Southern Alps is an experience not forgotten.
Poloriser filter is needed to see through the glare of the water.
Trout are widespread throughout the country in lakes and rivers.
They are an economically important species, particularly due to its popularity with anglers, and stocks are maintained in many areas by artificial introductions.
Brown trout feed on invertebrates, insect larvae, aerial insects, and molluscs, as well as the occasional fish and frog. I have seen them take a mouse swimming across a spring creek. |

Hello Russell,
This is probably a difficult capture!
The subject is captured with the typical details, and the difficulties with this shot is of course to photograph something below the surface from above...
Good colours and details!
Greetings,
Pablo -
Hi Russell.
Beaut image, the poloriser has worked great to take the glare off the water. It is really neat to be sitting on a bank and see the trout cruising past, to capture that, well done. Detail and colour in the trout and through the water for his surroundings is wonderful.
Crystal clear mountain water, looks like it could be our Crooked River that runs to Lake Brunner.
Kathleen.

Hi Russell, great catch, fish are not easy to capture like this - with the camera, so you did well.
