Confluence

In the winter, spring feeder creeks provide a unique fishing opportunity in our Utah rivers. The water in most spring creeks is a few degrees warmer than the main river water and thus offers fish and insects in the river a higher matabolism opportunity. I love to fish these "confluence" areas because the fish generally congregate along the "seams" of the converging flows.

I had the opportunity to fish such an area in January and the fish were very willing to play that day! I just had to come home and paint the scene! Acrylic on canvas 18" x 24".
