A stylized trout bursts upward in a swirl of motion on this 2002 Field & Stream cover, its spotted flank and fiery belly rendered with bold, painterly detail. The dynamic brushwork and saturated colors lend this cover a lively, almost surreal energy, celebrating both the beauty of the fish and the expressive potential of the angler’s imagination. Blending artistic interpretation with outdoor tradition, this modern classic pays tribute to the enduring appeal of trout fishing and the creative spirit it inspires.
