Official Waterville Bullhead Portrait
Waterville, in LeSueur County, Minnesota, U.S.A., is recognized as the Bullhead Fishing Capital of the World. Faithful scores perennially trek to Waterville, home of Bullhead Days festivities in the Heart of the Southern Minnesota Lakes region. Here the Royal Bullhead, a friendly fellow fit for Kings, for barefoot boys, for the countless young in heart of all ages, is always ready to provide fishing action and pleasure in the pan. The authentic Bullhead scene, featuring a Lake Sakatah specimen, is from the famous Bullhead painting which hangs in the Municipal Building. The portrait is by Waterville's native-son artist, Roger Preuss, F.I.A., who is recognized and respected world-wide as the master American painter of our-door subjects.
