The Artwork of Stan Miller

Ladies and Gentlemen,  we have a new emerging angling artist.....Stanley Miller.  Based out of Spokane,  I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail and the story these images bring to life.

Steelhead anglers are especially going to love this 3 painting series.

Stan has recently decided to put these originals up for sale.  If you're interested, shoot him an email and bring one of these beauties home.

Also, Stan has a limited edition run of artist qualilty Giclee prints of this series available  These are top quality angling art prints that are printed on watercolor paper, signed, numbered and will look great in your wall and or mancave.

Email him at stanley-miller@comcast.net

From Picture to Wallhanger...Phototaxidermy Review

From picture....

To the centerpiece of the man room.

I'm damn impressed with the product that PhotoTaxidermy delivered to my door this week

We all take volumes of digital pictures on cameras and smartphones and nothing really pops.  It stays stored on our devices and often times forgotten.

With a quick upload of the jpeg on the PhotoTaxidermy site, the process was set in motion.   The 24x36 poster was extremely easy to put up on the wall and its nice to know that if I want to change it's location, the fabric/polyester removable adhesive allows that to happen multiple times.

The end product that's now on my wall is bomber.  The fish pops off the wall and gives it a realistic 3-D look.   Even the wife gives her approval (which we all need to keep it on the wall, right guys?)

Hey, I'm no decor expert by any means......but anyone's man room or office can and will be improved by PhotoTaxidermy

Big Time Booyah For Wild Steelhead...

After a long and contentious process, the Wa Department of Fish and Wildlife designated 3 lower Columbia River tributaries as "Wild Steelhead Gene Banks"

Aside of hatchery strays, the East Fork of the Lewis, Green/North Fork of the Toutle and the Wind River will no longer receive hatchery steelhead plants.

This is big time for wild fish.   We're going to let nature heal itself and it's my hope, and others, that these Wild Steelhead Gene Banks will serve as a blueprint for recovery.

My First Intruders...

My first intruders were complete and utter dogshit.

We all start somewhere, that is for sure.  I came across a few bugs that were amongst my first from around 2010 and I'm happy I kept them.

They make me laugh and cringe at the same time.  At one time, I was somewhat proud of my creations and in the case of the middle one....it actually caught a nice steelhead.  Couldnt believe that

The lesson to that, steelhead eat more than just pretty flies.

Sometimes, they eat junk that will surprise you.  Even one of my crappy first intruders.
