Rainbow Opportunity

My first impression of this fish was that it was hesitant to enter the dark turbulent passage way of bubbles. After observing this animal for several minutes, I realized this fish was "hunting” the opening. As prey items were jostled and disoriented in this turbulent stretch of river, the Trout lay waiting, ready to snatch up the unlucky disoriented travelers.
