Luther Kelly   Hall grew up fishing and hunting in the mountainous region of northeastern Pennsylvania. He graduated from Wilkes University in 1970 and later completed his graduate studies at the University of Connecticut. He has also studied art at Lyme Academy College of Art and Connecticut College.

        Currently a resident of Historic Coastal Mystic, Connecticut Hall has immediate access to the sources of his saltwater fly fishing subject matter. The variety and drama of  weather, water, lighting conditions, the ever present physical danger and the abundance of marine organisms and predators are never ending inspiration to him.
       His salt water and fresh water fly fishing images and illustrations   have been featured in sporting publications and exhibits throughout the United States, Western Europe, Canada, and Japan. The list   includes: Atlantic Salmon Journal, Gray’s Sporting Journal, Yale Anglers Journal, Redbone Journal, Sporting Classics Magazine, Natural New England Magazine, Fly Fisher Magazine (Japan), Pennsylvania Angler Magazine, Wilkes University Magazine, The American Museum Of Fly Fishing, Orvis- Manchester, Vermont , and Hunters.          

     "Fly fishing is a total experience. It is a blending of comedy, science, athletics, poetry and art," says Hall. "It takes the fisherman to beautiful places and introduces him to memorable people. Many of my richest experiences in life and many of my fondest memories in life are a by-product of a day on the water."
