That's a really good pic. Where was it taken?

That don't look like no place in the Island Nation of Ohio. Were you on a work visa to another country?

I don't know, that might be the West branch of the Rocky River. Looks kinda like around Olmstead Falls, If I squint.

I'm with Joe, I don't remember seeing snow capped peaks and lakes alomst above treeline in Ohio. Nice pic though, kinda looks like my backyard.

Nooo, it's DEFINITELY NOT "In the country of Ohio"!!!
1)The trees are not devoid of branches, 6 feet up, where they've been stripped for campfire wood.
2) You can see into the water, more well past the 3" depth
3) The air appears to be CLEAN as well as, BREATHABLE.
4) The snow isn't a dingy dark gray.
5) The person, casting, HAS ROOM to cast.
6) For such a wide angled, photo, there are not 1,100 other fishermen in the shot.
7) There's no graffiti on the rocks.
The young man, fishing and wearing "gang colors" shorts, doesn't have a shiv in his back
9) There is not 23" of Styrofoam bait containers on the ground.
10) Taking numbers 1 thru 9, into consideration, the fishermen has a CHANCE, of catching a fish, that's perhaps even edible.

The fish are always right.
You guys are correct...not quite Ohio.
This is a picture I took of my brother (who only fly fishes when he has NOTHING else to do and I drag him by his ear) fishing at Lake Blanche which is in the Wasatch Mountain Range in Utah. It is truly a beautiful place where the main lake (shown) flows down into a smaller one. The trailhead for the hike up is in Big Cottonwood Canyon which is about 20-30 minutes from SLC airport. If you click on the picture, it will take you to a photo album of other shots from the area. By the way, this way taken in July 2 years ago.
Glad you guys like it.
Here is another angle which shows Sun Dial Peak as well (10,320 FT).
