I have carved lures for about a year. It is a hobby that if discovered when trying to find an alternative to fly tying (i wanted to try something new and different.) I would recoment it. It takes a sharp knife, and a little hardware to start. There are a few sites which offer ideas of how to start and at least one which sells a kit. I would recomend it to anyone. I am wondering if anyone else carves fishing lures.

Support your local forest ranger, get lost.
I think that they should host a survivor in the Adirondacks. Both teams get a over under rifle shotgun, box of matches, and a petersons edible plants field guide. -

WB"Get your mind off trout,if you can.I know they`ve got you.I can see it. Every fraternity of sufferers knows its brothers.Trout hook men;men don`t hook trout.Better try and throw the hook while you can.By the time you`re a grown man there probably won`t be a pure trout healthy enough to fiddle with"...
