I was bushwhacking past a bathtub-sized pool deep in the northeast woods when I saw dozens of dark forms scatter. So I sat at the water’s edge for a few minutes. Then stuck the camera underwater and started rolling. This is a good-sized school of young-of-year Salvelinus fontinalis — the eastern brook trout. Class of 2013. Can’t wait for them to put on a few ounces. Stay strong through the winter, my little friends!

Amazing to see how at that young age, they hold “on station”! Great footage! What camera are you using. The little waterproof Nikon?

Hi John,
I took some more underwater shots that will — if you’ll pardon the expression — surface at some point.
The footage was taken with a Canon Powershot D20. I’m new to the Vimeo/video thing. I need to re-upload a higher def version. This one is way grainier than the original.
You’re ahead of me. Sally and I have video of some of our work we need to get up on our website, Have no idea how to do it…
Pristine water and a healthy population! Hats off to everyone for helping maintain such a clean and healthy environment for them to grow up in – metiefly
This water benefits from being far away from where people can easily wreck it.
