Matthew Dickerson: Dappled light on dappled fish

ON A HOT summer day, McKenna Dickerson found a cool mountain stream in the national forest where she and her father-in-law could catch beautiful wild brook trout. Photo by Matthew Dickerson

On such a hot day, my daughter-in-law McKenna and I figured that if we wanted both to enjoy the fishing and to catch fish, we’d need to get up to some cool, well-shaded bit of water, either far up into a gorge somewhere or to a mountain stream in the national forest.
