Brown Trout

Hampshire is famous for its chalk streams and southern England (with a few in France) holds most of our planet's chalk streams.

The huge brown trout were just waiting for bugs to fall into their moths.

reminded me of the novel The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett that i read to my kids, it was set on "' the chalk '', so funny.

I see them. I like how you were able to shoot through the reflections and see them clearly.

[Richard Brown]

Nice catch 😂. Reminds me of visiting Bakewell in Derbyshire you can always see them in the river there.

[Clare Gadsby]

wow. love the light on the water as well as the shapes of the fish beneath. we've just had barbecued trout for a very delicious dinner ;)

[Susan Wakely]

Reminds me of walking home from school along the River Test. Great Trout fishing area. Love that this shot shows the marking quite clearly.

[Casablanca]

Oooh fish one out and cook me some dinner, eh?

[Esther Rosenberg]

This came out so cool
With the reflection as well on the water. .

[Valerie Chesney]

Well done to get the trout so well! It isn't easy to capture pitures of things under the water from above the water!

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful

[Rob Z]

It's like an abstract until you look into i t - and there they are! That's pretty neat! :)

[Shutterbug]

Wow, did they just stock it? I’ve never seen those quantities except in spawning beds.

[Monique]

Wow, that water is so clear ...
