Art to be done & Travel to Prepare for

June 29, 2017 by Jeff

The blog shouldn’t go dead in summertime but I fish in bursts and I work in bursts. Since my Henry’s Fork Marathon I’ve been glued to my artwork catching up on several big projects. This giant trevally Sharpie art will be used on the new FlyCastaway Seychelles T-shirts. I also did a bonefish crushing a crab fly for their St Brandon’s T-shirts. I take care of my South African friends because they always take care of me when I’m on the other side of the world.

I’ve also been busy drawing up fly boxes. During the winter months I take orders at the shows and from my website. The problem is, folks that ordered in April or later had to wait months for their boxes because since April 5^th I’ve barely been in the country. Luckily everyone was patient and now their boxes are done including this mustache triggerfish for Jarod.

I did a lot of boxes but two others were new for me. First this Atlantic salmon on a black box. I’ve done plenty on the yellow Cliff boxes but the black boxes are a new thing and they look sharp. This one is for my friend Ingo of Icelandic Fly Fisherman. If you read the blog you know Ingo because I’ve had two incredible trips to Iceland with Ingo (2014 & 2016).

Last, I need to show off this false albacore. This is a gift so I won’t mention who it’s for. I’ve painted several fat Alberts over the years and even did one in pastel but this is the first time I drew one on a Cliff Box.

I’m packing to leave the country next week. Stay tuned!

I started fly fishing at age 7 in the lakes and ponds of New England cutting my teeth on various sunfish, bass, crappie and stocked trout. I went to Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin, where I graduated with a Naturalist Degree while I discovered new fishing opportunities for pike, muskellunge, walleyes and various salmonids found in Lake Superior and its tributaries.

From there I headed west to work a few years in the Yellowstone region to simply work as much as most people fish and fish as much as most people work. I did just that, only it lasted over 20 years working at the Jack Dennis Fly Shop in Jackson, WY where I departed in 2009. Now it’s time to work for "The Man", working for myself that is.

I pursue my love to paint fish, lecture on every aspect of fly fishing you can imagine and host a few trips to some of the most exotic places you can think of. My ultimate goal is to catch as many species of fish on fly possible from freshwater to saltwater, throughout the world. I presently have taken over 440 species from over 60 countries!
