Paint Bank, VA Fish Hatchery

[PFMcFarland]

I used two cameras for this, as I knew I wanted shots that one of them would not be capable of doing well (such as precise framing). I had the Argus C-3, and a Nikon P7700 for when the film ran out on the Brick.

Getting good photos at the fish hatchery requires being there at the right time, as the lighting can be very fickle, with it being situated in a valley between Little and Peters Mountains. Then drifting clouds can cause the light to fade in an instant, and you just have to stand there and wait for the sun to reappear.

They raise trout at this hatchery, and from what I can tell, mostly rainbows. Instead of putting them in the streams when they are small, it has been the practice to let them grow to full size, as the fishers are lining the banks when the drops are made.
