The Fly Fishing Book: An Artful Guide to Angling
$29.99
This is a fully illustrated, 200 page tome for beginners and experts alike.
It’s full of step-by-step instructions, lush watercolor paintings of 50+ fish, lots of silly asides, and loads of advice from some of my favorite people in the fishing world like David Coggins, Joan Wulff, and Tom Rosenbauer.
I got launch this book into the world with Flylords as part of their Trout Week 2025. I did a Q&A with them about my artistic process, my fishing journey, and all the folks who helped me along the way that you can read here.
