A YEAR OF GLORIOUS TROUT
What fly angler doesn't dream of a clear cold stream, the dimple of a rising fish, the excitement of a strike, the pull of a good fish? When a trout or salmon comes to the net we marvel at its amazing colors—its "wildness"—and we hope we can keep the memory fresh in our minds. In this wall calendar, Joe Tomelleri preserves the extraordinary beauty of trout and salmon like no other.
Each month, the Trout of North America calendar features a lifelike portrait of a trout or salmon, a brief natural history, a color range map, and a hatch chart of mayflies and caddis flies. Packaged in a handsome die-cut mailer, it makes the perfect gift for any angler.
Tomelleri has spent over twenty-five years studying and illustrating the diversity of the fishes of North America. Each portrait—some taking more than sixty hours to complete—captures every detail of its subject. From Dolly Varden of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, Yellowstone cutthroat of the Rockies, to the Atlantic salmon of northern Maine, this calendar will brighten every month of the angler's year.
