When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
There have been many fine wildlife artists throughout the years, but near the top of my list of favorite fishing prints is the Orvis leaping brook trout by S. A. Kilgore in 1878.

"The value of trout is simply that they exist" <Frank Weisbarth>
I like prints that accompany John Gierach's columns in Fly Rod & Reel by Bob White.
Other faves are old cover art prints from Field & Stream and Outdoor life.
Here's an example a reproduction of a 1942 F & S cover:
Eric,
I have that same tile! It is an all-time favorite.
I have scoured the internet for it in poster form...unsuccessfully!

"It Doesn't Get Much Better"
My father-in-law gave me a 30X36ish of it a few years ago. It hangs above my fireplace. I love it.
I wish I had saved some original covers and had them framed. I knew some guys that did that-really spruces up a rec-room or den.
You can be on the cover of Field and Stream for $5.99:http://photo2.walgreens.com/choosestylemagazine
"As far down the river as he could see, the trout were rising, making circles on the surface of the water, as though it were starting to rain."- E.H., The Big Two Hearted River
That print looks familiar
