Headwaters and waterfalls
The post is not really about fishing. I wanted to checkout upper section of small stream.
I wasn't sure there is a fish, but who knows - maybe.
The stream is very cold and clear. Mostly, the water is very shallow. If there's a fish, it should be in some deeper water. I found plunge pool under the weir (artifical waterfall), with plenty of water.
There should be something in this water. Let's try
There's small trout in it! Tiny, nicely colored.
But my goal wan't really fishing (or not only fishing). I took a tripod, Nikon DSLR camera, and neutral density filters.
ND-filter slows down shutter speed , to achieve effect of blurred moving water. That effect often used in calendars and photo books.
Waders and wading boots are not only for fishermen. To make these shots, I set up tripod with camera to the water in the middle of the stream.
After that, I drove another 40-50 km to another remote stream. There's no fish, but nice waterfall in the canyon. Unfortunately, there's very low water level. This waterfall looks better in spring time.
No ND-filter here. The canyon itself is very dark, so I achieved long exposure naturally.
From fishing standpoint, the trip wasn't very successful. I got only two fish, and 3-4 strikes. But I also love hiking and photography, so I combined my different hobbies in one trip.
