I started my 2020 fishing year yesterday at Morgan Run wading and casting flies for trout. I caught nothing, which is more a statement of my trout fishing skills than it is for the fishery there. However, I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. I was outdoors in a perfect setting. I shared some photos of that trip with a friend this morning via email and I remarked that we're very fortunate to pursue our hobby on a beautiful stage. Catching fish is often merely a bonus given the imagery that surrounds us on the water. That thought made me take a look back at my 2019 fishing outing photos. I looked not for those with images of fish in them, but scenes that I found interesting. In other words, more proof that we play on wonderful stage as we fish.
Here are 10 images that caught my eye.
Winter -- John Rentch paddling along a shoreline of a Delaware pond. Even without leaves, trees make a pretty backdrop.

This site limits us to 10 photos per post. It was hard to hold my selections to those above. Perhaps you have photos to share of the interesting areas you visited last year to pursue fish. Not looking for photos of the fish, but the scenery you encountered while pursuing them.
