Item Description

David A. Footer has spent many years fishing with the Coopers and studying the magnificent Brook Trout of the Minipi watershed. In this reproduction of these remarkable fish that rise so readily to the dry fly, David captures not only the lure of the Labrador wilderness, but the Minipi’s inexplicable draw on true Brook Trout lovers.

Item Special Note

Dave guided on the famous Broadback River in Northern Quebec for an amazing 26 seasons. During that time, he spent thousands of hours watching the movements of fish. He acquired firsthand knowledge of the wilderness in Maine, Quebec, Labrador, Ungava Bay Region, and Alaska. Since 1994, his art has been on the covers of Maine Fish and Wildlife, Canada’s Eastern Woods and Waters, and in 2002, a 13-page feature story was published in the Art of Angling Journal. His work has been of interest to numerous other publications over the years, ranging from fly-fishing magazines, books and newspapers, and most recently in a pictorial publication from the Images of America series, titled “Rangeley Lakes Region,” by Don Palmer, President of the Rangeley Region Guides’ & Sportsmen’s Association.
