Jumping Fish

March 21st, 2009 Posted by Darren

The other day when I took students to Clyde Keefer Park in St. Anthony, I noticed a few Rainbow Trout trying to clear the diversion dam on the river. I went back on Thursday and tried to photograph the action. I managed to capture a few. I would just put the camera on continuous and shoot forty frames or so, delete the ones that didn’t have any fish, and then do it again. I think in 45 minutes or so I captured a few decent images of jumping fish. I only saw two fish make it, the rest came crashing back down. I’m including a grid of the best of the jumping fish, an image that shows a pair of jumping fish from a little further back, and a panoramic image of the dam. Enjoy.

    I like this one. It would be fun to go watch the fish jump up river. Aren’t you missing a post on your blog?

    I wish I could see the missing post, too. Those fish are cool.

    Where is the black bear that usually stands there waiting for the fish to jump into it’s mouth?
