I love that area! The wife and I were hoping to relocate there, but the cards didn't play that way.

Thanks Rich - I've wet a line a bit in that neck of the woods, pretty country for sure ! Bob

Rich, thats fine work right there buddy. I did'nt even know you could use baby ducks to catch fish although the bigs flatheads and blues around here would probabley hit anything if it appeared alive and moving. Danny

one more point rich. I looked at the finished pix after my last post and I think I could catch a few feral felines with  it if I hooked some line to it and left it in the grass. Maybe even put a little deer blood on it as an attractant.   Danny

That poor little baby duck is gonna end up getting chewed up by one of your toothy critters!  It's so cute - hell I almost feel sorry for it! ;D

Love your detail in your work Rich! That should fool the wariest aquatic predators. Watch out for the owls ;D
