From a 3-hour spawning brook trout shoot on a local stream last Friday afternoon. Good flow, gin-clear water, great light. I was settled in about 6 feet from the spawning redd and made about 800 images that afternoon. Fun shoot.

I love this! Steve, I am a Maine native and this is the first image I have seen of Brookies spawning. The difference is the habitat you show here.
Maine Dept Inland Fish and Wildlife has spent years stocking them in basins...... when they should have left the fishery as is. They even poisoned basins with rotenone. Wrong answer! On one of the ponds of my boyhood we finally stopped the rotenone but I think they still drop Brookies from aircraft because there is no spawning habitat. The fish that belongs there is one that is there already..... the smallmouth bass.
