As usual This is Fly showcases artists and this time we interview Russell Leng who likes to hide behind his geometric shape collages. Skinny Water Culture’s Jeremy Chavez’s unique perspective on Texas Redfish is the most unique we have seen to date. The photography accompanying the story is insane, showing Redfish busting bait in the skinniest water possible. Our featured photographer is Greg Mionske who offers up a diverse, yet cohesive mix of X-Games, fly fishing, rock climbing and surfing. Greg thank you for the perfect concoction of ambiguous ingredients we adore. Finally the boys from Troutification offer an exclusive behind the scenes account of their film 268 Casts.
