serenity now

Grant McClinock is a photographer, a fisherman and my friend. He is as fine a fisherman as I know. He casts with grace and precision, orchestrating the fly and fly line to the right rhythms of the current. As a photographer, he is angling for the moment when light breaks through a pin pricked sky or casting for the simple tranquility of a fisherman, his dog and a trout stream. When he intercepts this moment through the aperture of a camera, he captures time and space. He fuses together the physical world of air, earth and water.
The following photos all have great beauty. They all share some intrinsic truth found in accurately capturing the moment. When I look at Grant's photos, I long for both the time and the place the images reveal. His work inspires a feeling that is clean and pure, running right to the soul. This is the same feeling many of us have when we find a trout on the other end of the line.

The landscapes depicted in his photos are the places we fish at Lewis and Clark Expeditions. Fishing is and always has been more than fishing. While pursuing trout, we are also seeking the moments when the world and everything in it softens. It is a world with a trout exploding from the surface, but it is also the first explosion of pollen from a river bank. It is a river adorned with caddis flies at twilight. Grant's work bears witness to a beauty that is both profound and mysterious.

At Lewis and Clark Expeditions, we can get you to some of the places that can hold you in awe. Plus, we can throw a few fish into the mix.

We encourage you to discover Grant McClintock's work at www.grantmcclintock.com. We also encourage you to come with us and catch the feeling and emotion that is trout fishing with Lewis and Clark Expeditions.
