"South Fork Native” – Cutthroat Trout Watercolor & Ink Print (8” x 8”)

“South Fork Native” is an intimate portrait of a cutthroat trout—focused, weathered, and unmistakably wild. This close-up composition highlights the trout’s eye, jawline, and signature red slash, rendered in rich watercolor washes and defined with expressive ink work. The result is both detailed and raw, capturing the personality of a fish shaped by current, seasons, and pressure.

Inspired by time spent on the South Fork of the Snake River, this piece was created by Nolan Bluntzer, whose artwork is rooted in years of fly fishing, guiding, and observing trout at close range. The warm earth tones and layered textures reflect the gravel beds and sunlit runs where native cutthroat thrive.

This is a high-quality print of the original watercolor and ink painting, sized at 8” x 8”, making it a versatile statement piece for:

• Fly anglers and trout purists

• Home offices and studios

• Lodges, cabins, and river homes

• Thoughtful gifts for Western fly fishers

Bold yet minimal, South Fork Native celebrates one of the West’s most iconic trout in a format that feels both modern and timeless.
