The Butterfly Peacock Bass and other species of Peacock Bass are native to the Amazon River in Brazil, but have been successfully bred in the wild in Florida, Hawaii and Central America. It is a highly prized Fly Fishing trophy, getting over 30 inches in length. It is not of the Bass family, but of the Cichlid family of fish. This family is one of the common fish families that you see in freshwater aquariums.

I was inspired to paint the Peacock Bass by the Sportsman TV Channel show 'WILD ON THE FLY' that filmed a show in the Amazon. It is produced by one of my new galleries- The Grizzly Hackle Fly Shop of Missoula, Montana, who will also sell my product and images on their web site.

Non-Professional Photograph

Rare trout species from the Gorisk Region of Slovenia, found

in the Julian Alps in the Soca River Basin. The second largest

trout in Europe getting over 30 " in length.

I am starting to paint on a larger scale. Almost double what I had done for the 

first 50 species of fish that I painted. I gives me the ability to add even

more detail to the painting. Much of the research was from

Dan Sheppard's TV Flyfishing Show "Wild on the Fly".

He is based out of Montana, and gave me wonderful 

insight into this rare species.

The Taimen Trout is the world's Largest Trout (Huncho taimen) 

with a record catch of 231lbs!! Also known as the Mongolian Terror,

the Giant Eurasian Trout, the Siberian Salmon.

The most common bait is a mouse or a rat.

Or if fly fishing- a large artificial mouse.

The Taimen Trout is being framed with my watercolor study

of the Lenok Trout in a Double Watercolor Image Framing

titled "Trout of Mongolia. This is my second double

painting of Asian Fish - with the first being titled

'Trout of India' with the Indian Trout and Tibetan Snowtrout

that are really carp that have the appearance of trout-

therefore, are named as they are.

You can view the 'Trout of India' on my website.

The Taimen is an amazing trout, as a typical trout is only

2 or 3 lbs, and the Taimen Trout can weigh 100X as much!!
