Limited Edition Prints of Rising Silver Creek Trout

Excited to pick up from the framer my first limited edition prints. The three prints are each 16" x 24" with a frame size of 24 3/4" x 32". I view them as a set of three. They cost $1,200 (framed) individually or $3,000 (also framed) for the set of three. I am limiting each image to 100 prints plus an artists proof.

The images were shot this July on Silver Creek.

Silver Creek Rainbow

Heat of the day. Packed SUV's leave dust contrails on their way north with float tubes plastered to the roofs. Pretty soon Silver Creek is left with those who don't know any better or those who hope the weed beds will soon be smothered in a giant blue orgy. I've banked on it plenty of times and come up empty handed. It's a bit of a roll of the dice, but when it happens and enough fish are keyed into Damselflies, it'll make for a memorable afternoon.

Here's an image of mine appearing as the Table of Contents spread in the current issue of American Angler.

This was a fun shot to take on Silver Creek. It's actually one of a series of shots that shows this rainbow either about to take or just after taking this balled up spider web loaded with tricos. All of the other fish in this pod either ignored or refused this web ball, except for Spidy--so named do to its proclivity for trico laced spider web.

Silver Creek Rising Rainbow

Cool and cloudy weather and often times flat out wet weather over the last two weeks have really ramped up the hatches on Silver Creek. Baetis and Mahogany Duns have been super consistent except for the days with too much rain. The image below was taken on Silver Creek during light rain and a good Baetis emergence.

Foam Is Home

Here's an image taken of a rainbow pushing through a foam eddy on the Big Wood River a few days ago. Days with high temps above 32 degrees can be gems on the Big Wood in the winter. It's even possible to find rising fish...

Silver Creek Tricos

While The Nature Conservancy section is closed on Silver Creek from 10 pm to 10 am, there is still fishing to be had downstream of the Killpatrick Bridge. The Pond is deeper and the water is actually approx 4 to 5 degrees cooler below the dam than the water entering the Killpatrick Pond. While Silver Creek is near or at an all time low as far as flow goes, the Killpatrick Pond Project could not have come at a better time. With the the old dam that was a top release now removed along with the deeper water due to dredging, the pond and the portion of Silver Creek downstream of the dam is no longer seeing a warming of water and in fact the water as previously mentioned is even colder below the Killpatrick Pond...
