Art Pieces and Commissions

In striving to make my decoys as realisitic as possible, it became ever more clear that many considered my pieces to be works of art. I began to get requests for show mounted, speciality pieces more frequently - and now as many of my fish grace a table top or a showcase as actually come face to face with their intended fishy adversary!

Diplomatic gifts, sporting group trophies, or just recognition of a 'job-well-done' - I have been honored to be asked to design and produce some truly memorable commissions.

"Catch-and-Release"

I guess I was an environmentalist before there even was such a word! How can you be an outdoorsman and not care about the preservation and protection of the natural world?

My effort to protect trophy fish and ensure, in so doing, the preservation of their genes - is to ask you to photograph that 'big 'un' and let me carve a replica for you. Let that monster go so he can go on about making more fish for the future!
