Taking Painting Through Prosek a little further

My buddy Kevin wanted me to try painting a Shenandoah Brookie for him "Prosek Style." Meaning, he wanted the swatch of color and pattern without the fins and such. That is good, because I can't paint the other bits of the fish.

Using Prosek's Labrador Brook Trout as a guide along with the picture from Kevin, I came up with a version I like. Hope you do too!

If you read the post before this, you'll know I made a CD and put it on CDbaby. Well guess what? It is also on Spotify and iTunes. I'm very impressed with how quick that all happened. If you get a chance, go have a listen. Search "David Nash Dormroom Sessions"and you should find it. It was pretty fun to put together. Spotify works a bit like pandora, so you don't have to pay to listen as opposed to iTunes and CDbaby which will make you buy it to hear the entire thing. iTunes also has longer song previews than CDbaby.

New Video: The Bountiful Piankatank

My Saltwater Fly Fishing Journey began a little over two years ago on the Chesapeake Bay with Capt. Chris Newsome. Late September 2013, I rejoined Capt. Chris in search of Striped Bass, Speckled Trout, and Red Drum on the Piankatank River, a tributary of the Chesapeake. The River was generous and Murphy's Law held true with a dead camera battery prior to netting the last and biggest fish of the day. Still photos got the job done, however.

Spots and Stripes: A Day on the Piankatank River with Capt. Chris Newsome

For my birthday present, I got a day fishing the Chesapeake Bay with Capt. Chris Newsome of Bay Fly Fishing. My good friend Kevin of Sweet and Salt joined me for a day of fantastic fishing. Check out his more thorough recap here. 

Almost all the photos credit goes to Kevin on this one. Nice work bud.

Ridiculously gorgeous morning.

Just a great fish. 

Look at that snaggletooth. 

Kevin found the only red of the day.

Nice work, Kevin. 

If you are looking to get on the water, now is a great time to do it. If you are looking for a guide, Capt. Chris is one of the best. I'm hoping to get the video up and rolling in the next week or so.  Until then.
