In my former life as a corporate American I was in the art field, specifically a Creative Director. Other than fly fishing, I guess, if I have any god given talent it's as an artist. I've done wildlife artwork in various mediums all my life and it has guided me in my creative approach to fly tying, rod building and C&R replica painting. Our trout shop is unique in many aspects. One of which is our portrait offering. A custom acrylic / oil painting done of your trophy fish, you and your catch, or maybe just the lake sunset as you throw a tight loop to sipping rainbow down in the corner. Couple that with a framed actual photo of you and your catch and you have a classic and everlasting memory of a moment you never want to forget. Many options are available including making a C&R replica as part of the collection. I do many other wildlife illustrations and paintings which you can view as well. See these examples and call or e-mail for more questions and specific pricing.
