NEW for 2012 DeYoung Brown Trout Flank
Some of our most popular fish graphic representations come from the genius of Montana artist Derek DeYoung. In particular, his stunning, imaginative portrayals of brown, brook, cutthroat, and rainbow trout on Abel Reels are coveted by both collectors and anglers who want to fish something “different.”
Like all artists, Derek is compelled to find new ways to express himself. He’s done countless representations of brownies, each another layer of his artistic onion. Derek’s latest – some say greatest – look at brown trout is now available on any size or model Abel Reel at an added surcharge of $200.
DeYoung’s trout representations on Abel reels have become both artistic fly-fishing additions and collectors’ items. So whether you plan on using the new DeYoung/Abel collaboration on the business end of a flyrod or displaying it on your mantle, it will be a joy forever.
