Of course it’s a Channel Catfish – at least, I hope you can
tell that it is.
I was asked by Riverlink, a non-profit here in the Asheville
area, to provide them with some fish images to be used on a number of
interpretive signs they’ll be placing along the French Broad River. They asked for a Bluegill, a Smallmouth, a
Largemouth, a Carp, a Musky, and a Channel Catfish. I jumped at the chance to do this as it will
help highlight the fishing opportunities on our local big river and it gives me
a good excuse to do the art for the Carp, Musky and Catfish – three species
that I haven’t had reason to do until
now.Riverlink, in their words, “is a regional non-profit spearheading the economic and environmental revitalization of the French Broad River and its tributaries as a place to live, work and play.” A worthy cause , for sure.
This pen and ink needs some color and I’ll be adding that as
time allows. Stay tuned!
