First to Hatch

by David A. Footer

With the famed Lower Dam on Rapid River in Maine as a backdrop, a young brook trout leaps from the water in attempt to catch the day’s first mayfly. This pristine setting is a familiar image to fishermen fortunate enough to have witnessed its magical beauty. We hope you will agree, David has masterfully captured the image “First to Hatch” with his original oil painting and is now presenting it in Artist Proof Edition for a wider audience to enjoy.
