Painting Through Prosek: Apache Trout

After finishing the Char with a Dally Varden three-for-one, I've moved onto the next section of James Prosek's "Trout: An Illustrated History." 

The first specimen is the Apache Trout. What used to be an endangered species has made comeback partly because of such strong work by the local Native American conservation efforts. 

At first I wasn't happy with my ability to match Prosek's painting, 

but in the end, I think it turned out well.

I'd love to catch one of these some day.

Prosek's image. 

So there it is. We will see what is next soon enough.
