This striking watercolor print by local artist & former long time employee, Marty Ring, features the Greenback Cutthroat Trout, Colorado’s celebrated state fish. Rendered with remarkable realism, the trout glows with golden-olive tones, crimson markings, and the signature red slash along its jaw. Resting in a bed of wild grasses beside a fly rod, the fish is presented in a way that speaks to both the thrill of the catch and the quiet beauty of the natural world.
Ring’s detailed brushwork and sensitive use of color highlight the unique character of the species while honoring Colorado’s angling tradition.
