Carving a Wooden Brook Trout

It may not be fly-fishing, but most anglers will probably appreciate the skill going into this process - and not least the result.
MIKE STINNETT CARVES A WOODEN BROOK TROUT OUT OF A SINGLE PIECE OF WOOD
In this wood carving video I show how I carved this life sized Brookie out a piece of Box Elder wood and painted it using a combination of hand painting and airbrush. I also show you a little bit about my day to day life and the wildlife in my yard.
