I’ve been chasing fish for as long as I can remember. For more than thirty years, fishing has been my way of life, and it’s taken me to just about every great fishery in the country. If you want to find me on a good day, look for a kayak on the Columbia River. I’ll be drifting the rocks and current breaks, looking for smallmouth bass. Pound for pound, nothing fights like a Columbia River bronzeback, and I never get tired of it.

Smallmouth from a kayak may be my favorite, but I love fishing for just about everything, especially the unique species that call the Pacific Northwest, Idaho and Montana home.

Somewhere along the way, I found Gyotaku, the traditional Japanese art of fish printing, and I was hooked. The idea is simple, and any angler gets it: catch it, print it, eat it. Nothing goes to waste, and the fish gets the respect it deserves. Each print becomes a lasting record of a day on the water.

I’m self-taught, and every fish I print is one I caught. Right now I’m building a collection celebrating the fish of the Pacific Northwest. Each one has a story behind it. These aren’t just pictures of fish, they are memories pulled from the water and kept for the next generation of anglers.
