ART OF THE TROUT FLY The Dunkeld
I've been following Lyn Smith of Art of the Trout Fly through Instagram for some time now and she passed along her latest video which chronicled her creating 'The Dunkeld". Such good clean work.
Visit the Art of the Trout Fly website to see more of Lyn's work and considering following along on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram too.

Canoe Poling Art
Here's a nice bit of poling artwork that accompanied the article "The Sportsman Notebook - Climbing the Pole" by (Field and Stream March 1974). The brief write up was written by well known outdoorsman and canoeist, Bill Riviere.
In fact, the image might be an artist's rendition of Riviere himself. One of my favourite canoeing books is Pole, Paddle and Portage (A Complete Guide To Canoeing) authored by Riviere.
My hardcover copy was an ex-library book dated to 1964 and is missing the cover sleeve, but the inside of loaded with wonderful photos of Riviere in his trusty Chestnut Prospector. The chapter on poling features photographs of him confidently poling up rapids, snubbing down some swifts and peacefully poling through some stillwater with a packbasket in the canoe and a pipe in his mouth.
