More than 20 years ago, my old friend, the late John Betts, drew a map of the Battenkill for me. He included lots of little "add ins" - like drawings of the Orvis logo, LHP, etc. I could add them in or not. Well, after all these years, I chose to scan and print basically just the map. And thought it appropriate to add some flies to make a shadow box out of it. Lew Oatman seemed a perfect fly designer for my purposes. I think I'll try to make 10 of them and actually sell them...to help offset the cost of the materials for all the shadow boxes (and their shipping costs!) I have donated to salmon conservation and a museum (NOT AMFF) to help raise funds. They'll help me buy more materials and so what I can to help those organizations.
Anyway, thought some might appreciate a look at the beginning. Just tossed a piece of mat board over everything. Haven't decided on colors, frame, etc. yet.

Very nice indeed. Almost makes me want to drive further upstate and go fishing but, well, tomorrow marks December.
