“Ever since I can remember I have been drawing and fly-fishing. If I wasn’t hunched over a drawing pad I was out slinging cheap department store flies at a farm pond down the road from my house. I didn’t know a single soul who fly fished so I taught myself. Any kid can catch a fish with a bright colored bobber and a wiggling worm, but I wanted a challenge. I wanted to be an artist indoors and outdoors.
When I catch a fish the size is the last thing that draws my attention. These colorful creatures are so amazing with perfect lines, thick powerful bodies, and extreme intellect. I want to capture that beauty on paper and share it with the world.
When people see my artwork they say, “how do you draw like that?”When it comes to drawing something it’s actually a pretty simple process. It’s just being able to see every detail large and small of whatever it is you’re drawing and transferring that mental image into your hands then on to paper. And of course patience lots and lots of patience!”

In the latest issue of the North 40 Fly Shop eMag, we’re excited to announce a recap from our Trout Spey Clave 2.0 with Tom Larimer, Paula Schearer and Klaus Frimor. In addition to that, we went out in search of coastal cutts and bulls in British Columbia. There’s an article in the latest issue about that, a trailer we made for the short film, plus an exploration of Manitoba and the Deschutes in summer.

From Marc Crapo:
“You only need enough information to decide whether or not you want to cast this rod. It’s a “fast” action stick with tons of backbone and heaps of soul. For more info visit: http://douglasoutdoors.com/
If you have a suggestion or a question or you want to throat punch me don’t hesitate to leave a comment or hunt me down on FB or Instagram @vonbeardly (don’t worry, sometimes I want to throat punch myself. So you’re in good company) ;-)”
