Out May 2026 with Odd Dot books, this is a fully illustrated, 200 page tome for beginners and experts alike.

It’s full of step-by-step instructions, lush watercolor paintings of 50+ fish, lots of silly asides, and loads of advice from some of my favorite people in the fishing world like David Coggins, Joan Wulff, and Tom Rosenbauer.

I got launch this book into the world with Flylords as part of their Trout Week 2025. I did a Q&A with them about my artistic process, my fishing journey, and all the folks who helped me along the way that you can read here.

Some pages from the book are below.
