Mike,
That image was shot on a spring creek about an hour south of St. Paul, MN.
Ironically enough, it was shot on April 1 – the MN trout opener. We generally go camp the night before every year (or used to, anyway), and that night was a late-Mach snowfall – the big wet heavy shit that sticks to the trees. When I got up in the morning, I knew we needed to go shoot before we went fishing as that sort of snow doesn’t last, so I made my buddy gear up and go jump in the water at a few select locations. Sure enough, the trees were bare by 9:30 am, but I got the shot I had in mind.
