Title: Fly Snag

Map: #20 ,  2020-21 Tour
Materials: Bronze & Steel 76”H x 40”W x 36”D
Price: $9,500


Artist Statement: “A fishing lure stuck in a tree? Every fisherman knows the challenge of avoiding a snag. It seems to go with what fishing is all about, especially fly fishing. If you want to try your luck at angling, plan on spending some time and effort with your use and line tangled up somewhere other than a fish’s mouth. I wonder how many lures, spinners, flies, hooks, etc. are snagged in a tree or
bush somewhere. Fish on!”
