Fish Decoy Chronicles

Fish Decoy ramblings and observations. Antique ice fishing decoys wanted to buy and trade. I'm an active spear fisherman on the frozen lakes of Ely, Minnesota and the Boundary Waters. I buy, sell create and trade fish decoys and vintage fishing lures. You contact me through the link to my website below.

Fishing Decoys, the art of Carving, Spearing with and Collecting

Recently, I was asked to speak to a group of folks in Ely about my passion for fishing decoys and the art and sport of spear fishing.  I covered some history, how a decoy is made, and how fishing in a darkhouse works.

What's this all about?

I don't know what to project onto this space, because that's not how creativity sneaks out of you... it takes time and comes on its own. I like folk art lures and decoys. I've been in the antique business since I was a kid, when I opened our first shop in rural Illinois with my parents. At ten I sold my first piece, a heavy old stove I bought at an auction for 3 bucks while my dad wasn't watching. :) It sold for $30 and I was hooked. Speaking of hooked, the love for antiques and history led me eventually to collect and then to create. Sometimes people like to share their fondness for this kind of thing. So... reader beware... fishing decoys is what you're in for.
