Carl A. Rettenberger is a retired professional engineer and land surveyor currently residing in Frederick County, Virginia. He is an avid fly angler and fly tyer since the young age of 10. He has channeled his loved of fishing into his artistry by carving brook, brown and rainbow trout replicas. All the templates used to create his carvings are created in AutoCAD from photographs of actual trout that he or other fly fishermen have caught. He begins each carving by cutting out the general shape of the replica on a bandsaw and then using hand tools, he carves the fish from Basswood blocks. When the hand carving part of the project is complete, he carefully and faithfully paints each fish to match that shown in the given photographs using both an air brush and hand brush. On average, these hand carved Basswood replicas take seven hours per inch of carving to complete!

Artist; Brian Hester said Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing was his inspiration for creating this remarkable piece. He thought it would be cool to capture the power and majesty of beautiful rainbow trout and decorate them with the American Flag. They hover as if surveying with a first line of defense attitude. The artwork is acrylic paint on canvas and the frame was constructed by the artist from pine that he cut; distressed and stained. Brian stated he can continue his artwork and continue to teach art because of the men and women that protect his freedom!
