Harvey Eckert for many years has been known for his
illustrations in the trout worlds. One such example is the newsletter
entitled "The River Rat" by George F. Grant. His line drawings and
sketches have animated its pages for the past several years. His
works have been published in several fly fisher magazines. He
was born in Tennessee, but raised in Larned, Kansas. He received
a Bachelor of Arts from Wichita State University in Literature and
Creative Writing. Later he received a Civil Engineering Degree from
Vocational Technical School in Butte, Montana. He has lived in
several small towns in Montana. In addition to his artistic leanings,
Harvey is a dedicated fly fisher and a concerned environmentalist.
His sketches reflect a love of nature and a serious study of the trout
and aquatic insects that he so faithfully portrays.
