by Joseph D. Bates, Jr," Inspired by the world he loved,
Milton C. Weiler is regarded as one of the finest painters
of sporting art of his generation. Equally dedicated to gunning
and angling, Weiler instilled in his paintings and carvings a
rare authenticity and sensitivity.
Whether the subject is a chilly dawn or a surging salmon, the
art of Milton Weiler reflects the artist's compelling sense of
nature. He had a lifelong interest in conservation and the
preservation of wildlife and was one of the founders of The
American Museum of Fly Fishing. In addition to teaching fine arts,
topography, and graphics. Weiler was alos an illustrator whose
sketches and watercolors graced many publications, including
those of Derrydale Press, Winchester Press, Scribners, and
