Bomber & Hardy: An underwater photo of a recent fishing outing my husband made, caught my eye, begging to be painted. I thought the shapes and lines made an interesting composition. These colorful trout can be a fun diversion from my typical landscapes. He titled the watercolor “Bomber and Hardy”, which left me with questions needing answers. I had to ask him, what’s an Ausable Bomber and why do you need so many Hardy reels? This watercolor appeared in the September 2021 Gazette, newsletter of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild.
