Fall Colors

A wonderful day to be on the stream

By Bob Petti

Autumn is my favorite time of year. All summer long, wilting in the heat, I look forward to that first crisp morning where it feels good to put on a fleece shirt even though there is not a cloud in the sky. This past weekend, the weather was about as perfect as one could expect. The leaves were near their peak, the skies were deep blue, and morning chill burned off to wonderful afternoons the entire weekend. I took the opportunity on Saturday to try my hand at some Fall fishing on one of my favorite trout streams anywhere - Willowemoc Creek. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Kudos, as a professional photographer, I am continuously humbled by the effort and results of all enthusiasts of both genres. I feel guilty for not taking more angling and outdoors images. It is embarrasing, considering I was born and raised on Vancouver Island British Columbia, and now enjoy semi-retirement in the Annapolis valley of Nova Scotia. Perhaps it is because of these facts that I was taking my surroundings for granted. I have been carrying my camera for all my fishing trips lately, and perhaps one day I will post and Image or two - unfortunately, I am a better photographer than angler!

All these cased caddis has the classic square cross section like a Grannom, but I didn't pluck any of the larvae out of their houses to check body colors. They were active buggers, too, as when I picked up a rock, they'd wriggle all about.

Good shot! But it makes me wonder about my own patterns now. The heads seem to be quite light in contrast to their darker bodies. Is this true or is it simply that the photo has distorted the true colors. Also their shape is definitely more torpedo-like than my ties.

Thnx. Doug

With snow on the ground outside, I can still go back, in my thoughts, and relive my last fishing trip, before the snow, thru your pictures. Keep up the good work.
