Is it really real??!!

I've never cared for those glossy painted decoys. That's something I probably inherited from Grandpa and Uncle Mike!

After I've got the decoy shape I apply soft acrylic paints then sand the wood grain to show back through.

I've made over 40 fish species decoys - and every one of them is different!

Dave Kober work bench Depending on where it was caught, what time of year, what the water temperature was a fish can change colors completely.

If you don't believe me you should see a Brook Trout during spawning season!

Although I know many of my decoys go straight to a display case, each one is balanced and weighted to be a real working lure.
