Rising Trout
While I was down at Silver Creek today there were quite a few baetis coming off and I thought I'd try and get a few "rise and bug" close-ups. I shot over 500 frames and have only looked at a few of them. I had to sit still in the same spot and let the fish "adjust" to my presence before they started to feed as though I was not there. It was pretty interesting to watch the fish decide which baetis to eat. Even though fishing season is closed, there is no doubt these fish are still selective. I watched on many occassions a certain rainbow look closely at a baetis and at the last moment refuse it and move on. Pretty cool stuff.
