The Fishmas Tree creation was done for us by award-winning watercolorist Thom Glace. As some may know, Thom is also an accomplished Tenkara and traditional fly fisher, dedicated wetlands conservationist, and avid University of North Carolina Tar Heel fan. NOTE: The fish shown below [and Featured Image] is the Masou salmon [Oncorhynchus masou], known colloquially as the cherry salmon indigenous to Japan – shown in beautiful spawning [Christmas] colors.
