" Stripping Line" is my latest painting... I wanted to paint the feel of a misty rain.... One of my top five fishing days of all time was on the Kennebec River in Maine during a blizzard caddis hatch, with landlocked salmon going nuts on dry flys and a misty rain coming down. I waded out to a rock where I could reach the current seam with a long cast... The fly never drifted for long before a fish would rise and eat it.... the hatch lasted about an hour... an hour that has remained sure and steady ever since.... I have other memories of fishing in the mist , sometimes alone or often with friends... they are all so fine.....
