SynopsisHaving developed a passion for fishing as a boy, James Prosek searched in vain for a book that catalogued the trout he had come to treasure. Then he began painting them himself, inspired by John James Audubon's classic bird portraits. This is the dazzlingly beautiful result, with more than seventy original watercolors by a true prodigy--only twenty years old and already considered "a fair bid to become the Audubon of the fishing world" ( The New York Times ). The trout of North America range from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the Arctic Circle to the Tropic of Cancer. No other book pictures all of the popular varieties, much less the rare, exotic, and in some cases extinct species, subspecies, and strains included in this comprehensive collection. Char; Apache, Gila, and Mexican trout; rainbow, redband, and golden trout; cutthroat trout; brown trout and Atlantic salmon--each of these, and many more, are captured in vivid watercolors, along with engaging, informative descriptions of their evolution and habitats. With youthful passion and stunning accuracy, James Prosek celebrates as never before the indelicble beauty and variety of the trout, and makes an eloquent plea for its preservation. An unprecedented reference, Trout is essential for the serious angler--and a glorious introduction for anyone who loves fishing and the outdoors.

James Prosek a true Wildlife Historian, Advocate, and Artist
James Prosek accomplished all that is referenced in this unprecedented, one of a kind, historical account of the Trout Fish species, as the result of his inward love of the sport and the species. And to think, he accomplished this all before he graduated from The Fine Arts College at Yale University. My Hat, and fishing vest, go off to this man. A true roll model for anyone to be inspired by. Thank you for such a fine piece of work. I am hoping to be able to recreate his art in Oil Paints; at 1/10 the quality he puts forth in this book and subsequent similar collections of his work, and be very proud. Just an amazing artist, living in his world, back in Connecticut. "James Prosek...The unprecedented and unequaled Wildlife Artist." - christopher...crb -Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
