The term "bonefish" conjures up images of thrill, excitement, and adventure for anglers. Named for their numerous tiny bones, bonefish inhabit the shallow coastal and island waters. For many, bonefishing is synonymous with catch-and-release, which adds to the enjoyment. The excitement comes from catching these large fish on light lines with a fly, then watching them dart through the water in a spirited escape attempt.

Resort lodges specializing in bonefishing are common, highlighting its popularity. Ed Anderson’s artwork captures this sport with vibrant colors, drawing attention first to the fish's striking black eye and wide-open mouth. The artwork vibrantly portrays the fish's motion and its shallow water habitat, with fishermen visible above the waterline, adding an element of danger and action.

One of Ed Anderson's aluminum box art pieces makes a fantastic keepsake from a bonefishing trip. It’s an ideal gift for any angler in your life, adding a unique touch to a man cave or she shed.

Art by Ed Anderson.

Ed Anderson is a contemporary fine artist and former Air Force officer living in the mountains of Idaho. His style has evolved from a lifetime with art and architecture. Bold lines and bright colors have come to define his compositions. Most days you can find Ed in his home studio overlooking the Boise River on the eastern edge of town. In fact, if you do visit and it's quiet, it probably means he's off somewhere exploring in his Jackson kayak with his Boykin Spaniel, Mootie.
