Wild Art Wednesday on Thursday
Local Internet Outages Reek Havoc on Schedules
For a long look at what Wild Art actually is, be sure to check out the post – What is Wild Art?
Today’s wild art comes from the Brownsville Ship Channel
I was fortunate enough to have the big gun (a real camera, a real GOOD camera) along last spring when I spotted a name on a shrimp boat that reminded me of home, or specifically my whiskey sipping neighbor across the street – Joe.
Photographs, on their own, after thirty-six intense years of being obsessed with the format, do not do as much for my creative juices as do the things one can do with those too literal renditions. The Whiskey Joe is a perfect example of how to transform one of my average images into another, more appealing, less photographic style.
Fly Tied in Texas
The Whistler is an ultralight fly that has bead chain eyes, and this one is tied specifically for saltwater speckled trout. It runs shallow and is tied on a stainless circle hook. Get em while you can. The stainless circle hook is discontinued since these were tied. Red and white are super colors for trout along the Texas Gulf Coast.
SIZE #2 Stainless Steel
