Forbes.com lists “North America’s Top 10 Trout-Fishing Towns”

Didn’t know that Forbes is keeping a “Top 10 trout fishing”  list, but what do I know? My back-yard fishing destination, the town of Redding, made the list — in case you’re wondering, my backyard is very big.  With all the great fishing spots, the world class guides and fishing destinations  Redding has to offer,  the top ten status is well deserved. Now if Forbes could only spell my name right on the photo credit that would be even better

“Rivers of a Lost Coast”

Yesterday I went to see “Rivers of a Lost Coast”, a documentary about Northern California’s steelhead rivers and their decline. The story is told through the eyes of fly fishermen who fished through the heydays of California Steelhead and Salmon runs. It also tells the remarkable story and rivalry of  legendary fly fishermen and ultimate fly fishing junkies, Bill Schaadt and Ted Lindner. It is an incredibly well done documentary, entertaining as it is enlightening. Kudos to the film makers Justin Coupe and Palmer Taylor. I highly recommend it to anyone, even none fly fisherman will enjoy this film.  I give it 4 thumbs up.

New Fly Fishing Artwork Released

 

I was finally able to work on some new large format canvas prints and add a new fly fishing  photo gallery to my online storefront.  If you have a big empty wall that needs some serious fly fishing art, these large format prints are a must see.  I create them using multiple high-resolution exposures that are “stitched” together. This ensures a high-quality, detail-rich print.  I am inspired by some landscape oil painters, so it is no accident that some of the photos have the look and feel of oil paintings. Once the final image is created, it is then printed onto canvas using a pigment inkjet printer. These prints are very archivable and, in addition, are lacquered with a UV-resistant coating for further protection. The canvas is Gallery Wrapped (stretched on fine art stretcher bars) and is delivered ready to hang.  I am still working on some more pieces and will be adding them to the Large Format Gallery in the near future so keep checking in.
