Like the great American realist Winslow Homer, I have a passion for fishing. My best "catches" are often the superb vistas I discover on fishing trips. It Doesn't Get Much Better makes the point. When you stumble on a breathtaking fishing hole like this on a mist-drenched morning, it hardly matters whether they're biting or not. When, as in my very hopeful canvas, the stately fisherman, properly outfitted in full waders, hooks onto a feisty rainbow trout, it truly doesn't get much better than this. Even Winslow Homer would have agreed with that sentiment.
