RETURN TO THE THOMPSON

The Thompson River has always felt like a home away from home especially in the fall during steelhead season.

Above image and this image are in the Cal Woods Rec Site in Spences Bridge.
These days the river remains closed from the end of September through the end of April to protect the last remaining steelhead that attempt to spawn in the Thompson’s tributary’s.
The old pillars that held up Spences Bridge.
However in the summer the Thompson has always been known for a large rainbow trout population. These rainbow trout are known to eat large adult stonefly’s straight from the waters surface! In other words the fly fishing can be spectacular!
Great trout water near Cache Creek.
I recently spent three days on the Thompson fly fishing and documenting the old town of Spences Bridge, Cash Creek and the surrounding area in both still photos and video.

I wanted to find a balance between actually fly fishing but also documenting the area in black-and-white photography.
