My name is Bart Gelesh and I currently reside in Oxford, Pennsylvania which is aprox an hour south west of Philadelphia. I am an avid fisherman and a fish artist. Here is a link to my website where you can see some of my work.

I have been interested in keeping wild fish for some time but I have finally gotten around to getting serious about it. While doing some research I found this forum. I want to ensure the health and happiness of any fish I decide to keep and you guys I'm sure can put me on the right track. I would like to keep fish to study which I hope will further my abilities as an artist.
I have a ton of questions and would like to read as many of the threads that pertain to what I want to do before I post. I look forward to learning all I can about wild fish capture and care.
