Soon to Be Released

In March of 1993, Fly Rod and Reel featured a piece about Bob Wolf's bronze sculpture, Soon to Be Released, honoring his idol of 40 years, Lee Wulff. According to the story Wolf, a Nebraska wildlife artist living part time in Wyoming, met his idol guiding him in the Jackson One Fly in 1990. After watching Wulff fish for a day he knew that he had to devise a tribute and the idea for the sculpture was born. Approved by both Joan and Lee, the project was delayed by Lee's sudden death in April of 1991 which just further inspired Wolf see the project through. The sculpture was unveiled in 1992 at the same place it was conceived, the Jackson Hole One Fly.

Wolf rendered Lee as he appeared in 1960 and the piece was available in three sizes, a table edition (15 inches high), a garden edition (80 percent life size) and a monumental edition. We did a quick search and just happened to find #78 of the 300 table top editions for sale at the New Hampshire Antique Co-op. The description does not do justice to the background on the piece or what inspired the artist who passed away in 2009, now you know the story.
