Fishing anyone?

Last weekend, I was home and finished my fly fishing lure. Carved this out of HDU. It measures about 18" x 32". My wife and I decided this needed to be displayed in a shadow box. My son purchased a antique fly fishing reel at an estate sale for $1.00. Had some old fly line. My wife went to Hobby Lobby and bought some artificial vegetation which looked like sea weed. The vegetation is sewn to the fabric backer with black thread. It really made it look like you are viewing this underwater.

That's pretty cool! Good job! Now you need a trout. ;)

How about a Salmon? This one is out of EPS foam and air brushed in watered down acrylic with a Harbor Freight touch up gun.

I aint never caught a fish that could swaller somethin that big :D

[terryjones]

Gene,
Catching the fish would not be the first problem. It would be trying to cast something that size with a fly rod. If you were not proficient in the art of fly fishing, you might sustain a closed head injury.:eek:
