Colors on the Fly
Original Fly Fishing Art
I’m Mike Pepper.
An original watercolor artist with a life-long passion for fly fishing, fish and the places they live.
As a dedicated watercolor artist, I bring my vibrant creations to life by skillfully capturing the beauty of the fish and the places they live on paper. Through my brushstrokes, I invite viewers to share in my love for fly-fishing and the outdoors.
Meet Mike
Mike is a life-long fly fisher with a lengthy history of fishing the streams and rivers of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. As a resident of both the Magic Valley and Sun Valley for more than 40 years, Mike feels lucky to consider the Big Wood, Silver Creek, and the Big Lost home rivers. Years spent learning and fishing these incredible places in pursuit of their wonderful trout have created a passionate appreciation for the fish, and the places they inhabit.
Mike took up watercolor painting a few years ago as a new way to honor these beautiful fish and places and to create unique memories of special days astream. More of Mike’s images can be seen at Idaho Troutfitters in Twin Falls, Saddletree Gallery and Lost River Outfitters in Ketchum, Picabo Angler in Picabo, or his Instagram page @colorsonthefly
