Bob White
Sporting Artist & Professional Guide
Bob White is a professional guide and artist who has spent countless hours researching sportsmen and women in action; from the wilderness of Alaska and his rural Minnesota home to the wide-reaching expanses of Argentina.
His ability to capture a fleeting moment through the eyes of a sportsman has won him worldwide acclaim. His work hangs in the private and corporate collections of sportsmen on six continents.
He hosts fly fishing and wing shooting trips to Patagonia, Alaska, Kamchatka and other destinations. The photographs that he takes of his guests in the field frequently appear in national publications and are often used as reference material for field and stream portraits.
Bob was awarded Guide of the Year in 1988 by Fly Rod & Reel Magazine. As the 1994 Artist of the Year for the Alaska State Parks Foundation, he produced and donated the artwork for the first Alaska State Parks Foundation print. His work has been presented twice in Fly Rod & Reel Magazine's Gallery. Bob has been featured as a guide and artist on ESPN's Fly Fishing the World and Fly Fishing America, as well as on Ron Schara's Minnesota Bound.
He currently illustrates the closing columns for Fly Rod & Reel magazine, Duck's Unlimited magazine, Gun Dog magazine and Hatches magazine. He is a columnist for Midwest Fly Fishing and regularly contributes to many other sporting publications.
Bob has lived in Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota for over a decade with his wife, Lisa, his children Jakob, Jamie and Tommy, and their dog, Gus.
