This past Friday was kind of a pretty awesome mail day. I’ve been patiently waiting for my copy of Dave & Emily Whitlock’s “Artful Profiles of Trout, Char, and Salmon” to arrive at my doorstep, and guess what greeted me once I got home from work…
I’m sure many of you are familiar with Dave Whitlock’s overall body of work… it sure would be hard not to if you’re even a casual fly angler. Well, with an initial paging through this latest book, the contents far exceed my expectations. Such wonderful illustrations within, I can’t wait to get some downtime this upcoming week and really soak in the pictures and complete text.
And the best part… and I know I’m not special or anything because this is pretty standard for Mr. Whitlock… I’ve been on a kick recently where if I have the opportunity to have the fishing books that I purchase signed by the authors, I try my best to take advantage. Well, this one is no exception. And just like when he signs his prints, Dave always adds a little something extra to each signature. Love it!
Looks like a great read. Dave is quite the artist in many ways.
That he is. I'm headed to the beach this week for a mini escape, this looks like perfect light reading…
I always take the time to stop by and see Dave and Emily when they are at the Fly Fishing Show here in January. He's an amazing artist!
No doubt. I figured you'd be one to appreciate their work.
That is a special find. I have those golden trout on my bucket list. Someday! Enjoy the read and the vacation.
I'm looking for an adventure. Maybe we can go hunt them together someday.
