‘Western Lakes’ by Tasmanian fly fishing artist Cliff How, is strictly limited to 100 numbered prints.

To create our Western Lakes artwork, we commissioned third-generation Western Lakes fisherman Clifford How to capture the unique pencil pine’s of the plateau, and the historically important trapper’s huts that now provide shelter and inspiration to fly fishers.

Inspiration for the pencil pines and dolerite scree depicted in the artwork came from those found on the islands of the Lunka Lake system. These island outcrops of centuries-old trees are testamant to the fire protection that these lakes have provided since their glaciated inception. Junction Lake hut plays the role of muse for the cryptic trappers hut sketched in charcoal, complete with the ‘RRR’ branded timbers that represent the makers mark on many huts found in the area. The wild trout of the artwork is pictured with the vivid golds of the brown trout found in the region, a colour made ever more vibrant by a diet rich in shrimp and crustaceans.

Approximate size is 580mm x 320mm, printed in Tasmania on acid-free archival paper. Celebrating Australia’s greatest fly fishery, this artwork is now available. $99.00 . Click on the image thumbnail for a larger view.
