I'm a fan -- not just of
the artistic expression of Bob's passions through his work, but
of his perspective on life. His work is powerful
and boasts a seldom paralleled reach to the spiritual
chord of a true sportsman.
Thank you for your work,
Bob. And one million cheers to Lisa for her support of the
life you provide for your family. You are a man with many
blessings.
From his website:
Bob White is an artist
whose work is truly an expression of his experiences. A
professional guide and artist for two decades, he has spent
countless hours researching sportsmen and women in action; from the
wilderness of Alaska and his rural Minnesota home to the
wide-reaching expanses of Argentina.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to this group of
dedicated souls for an amazing publication, and to Aaron Alter who,
first among them, recognized the work of a
madman.
"It is first-rate, the prose, the layout, the sketches –
and the idea. Heartiest congratulations."
–William F.
Buckley, Jr.
"This is the liveliest collection of angling (and
angling-related) pieces I have read in a long time. And we can be
confident that James Prosek's wonderful watercolors, included as a
bonus here, will be a part of the sport permanently."
–Ian
Frazier, author of The Fish Eye
"Gems come in small sizes – and are cherished. The
Yale Anglers' Journal is a gem of good
writing."
–Lefty Kreh
"What a pleasure to see the first issue of this fresh and
diverse journal of fly-fishing writing – literary, serious, witty,
and with the happy promise of youth!"
–Nick Lyons, Lyons
Press
"This is a first-class literary journal."
–Paul
Fry, The William Lampson Professor of English, Yale
University

I first met Paul Gray at Tom
Helgeson's Great Waters Fly Fishing Expo in Chicago and was quite
taken by him and especially so by his
work. Paul's passion for all that matters is quite
evident in his attention to detail in his angling and wildlife
art. I invite you to see for yourself. Impressive
work. Thank you
Paul!

You'll be hard pressed to find a more affable host than you
will in Doug Mooring. He's fully invested in your satisfaction
and is ever ready to prove it.
Here's just one of many testimonials
from Doug's clients -
Fred L of Los Angeles,
California writes:
Fishing on the Blackwater River, I caught and released over
100 fish in one day, the float trip was beautiful with eagles in the
trees and king Salmon in the river. Our guide matched the hatch with
his modified flies, allowing my partner Tom to be into his first
trout on his second cast. This action continued all day, making this
the most fish we ever caught on a river in our lives, Simply
Outstanding.

For the
finest Tonkin Cane Rods available. Well worth the wait if
the anticipation doesn't kill you first. There's no finer
Mistress for me than the model 735.
Thank you
Bob. Your artful craftsmanship is
unparalleled!

The model 1 1/2 is
the perfect companion for my Summers model 735. This fine
instrument sings a Siren's song as my quarry strips its
line in my favorite trout
stream.

I wholeheartedly
endorse the work of
Ellen
McCaleb
www.fishcarvings.com
from her website:
In the tradition of
British fish models, Ellen creates a custom wooden trophy fish
carving of your memorable catch. Whether you are looking for a wood
sculpture of your favorite game fish, are a collector of fish art,
or are searching for the perfect fly fishing gift, you will
undoubtedly appreciate the detail in Ellen’s work. According to
Hunting and Fishing Collectables Magazine writer Rod Taylor, “Ellen
McCaleb is one of three people worldwide, producing trophy fish
carvings in the style and quality of the
masters.”

Artists I
admire...
Erin Ruth
Kuzmeskus
www.ErinRAK.com
I found
Erin's work through the Cafe Press website when I queried Brook
Trout.
Delighted by her
painting, I paid a visit to her website and found myself staying for
far longer than I had ever expected. Her collection really
grabbed me! I believe she works with whimsical
abandon and quite naturally reflects what I believe to be one
of the world's healthier outlooks on Life. I especially see
this in her maternal images, like the Howling Mama. Please
visit and enjoy.
www.FishLadyArt.com
For Mary K. Jenkins
and her life's work as passionately portrayed in
her studio and on this website. Please browse her gallery
of fine art and original work. There's plenty there to keep
you browsing awhile so take your time and enjoy yourself.

Photographers I
admire...
Ben McCormick
Ben's Lens is chock-full of
poetry.
Awe-inspiring, creative and
insightful work.
Lynn Donaldson Photography
Lynn's work is absolutely
delightful.
I discovered her work with the help of her
husband Dan Vermillion, to whom I was referred by Bob White in my
quest to forge some path and reputation in the world of photographic
imagery.
I encourage you to visit her gallery and
experience an outlook on life rich in fresh perspecitves and simple
delights.
Brian Grossenbacher
Brian's work is as solid as it gets. I
love it.
As I write, the temp here in Grosse Pointe is in
the low twenties.
Brian's work takes me to where I'd rather
be...
Blacklock
photography. Exquisite work.

Robb Debenport is a
Master of Light and has harnessed its Magnificence and Splendor in
his collection of Fine Art Photography. Inspiring

In this website we
will offer as much information as possible on
fly-fishing
and other outdoor pursuits. We will present a spot where
outdoor artists, photographers, clubs and organizations,
outfitters and
guides, travel specialists,
flyshops, lodges
and many other groups will
get their information to you,
our new non-barking friends. We will
present all this to
you in a down to earth, easy to understand venue. We
also
hope that you will help us by sending us the stories of your trips,
and pictures of your trophies (and dogs) so that we may put
some of
them on our site to share with others.

Dennis Palmer is first and
foremost a fly fisherman. At least in my mind he is. I
was not surprised then when I learned he was also an
excellent craftsman with voice and guitar. His first
album was entitled "Stillwater" so I suspect the Fates had some
hand in our chance meeting on the Manistee River. In the
rain. Check him out. I hope you find his
work as pleasing to the ear as I did.
