The water
Elk River (Webster Springs) is a freestone river in West Virginia, fished for trout, smallmouth bass — rainbow, brook, brown, tiger. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
