I have a couple of lori Dresch decoys a pike a perch and a crappi, I picked up in Caimbrige Mn. I also have a Tom Christianson Heddon replica decoy and an old south bend lure he repainted for me, He realy does some nice work. If some one could show me how to post photos I would love to share them. Thanks again for inviting me into your collection.

Nice looking stuff Early!

[Early Riser]

Jimmy, go to photosharing forum and check out the instructions there. Basically you have to upload your pictures to a photo hosting site like photobucket, copy the photo, and then paste to your reply.

Those Heddon replica decoys are pretty nice. Lori Dresch decoys are widely available in bait shops accross the state and they tend to swim realy well.

Shamalex,

Those are very nice. You are a talented man. Do you sell any of these?

[shamalex72]

Thanks Hitman. I do sell some, mostly to the people I work with. Most of the ones pictured in my earlier post are gone, except the northern, sucker and frog. Those I am going to keep. I've got a couple northerns ready to paint, and a couple perch carved out waiting for fins and lead. I haven't been real ambitious lately.

[Early Riser]

Shamalex, if you can come to one of the get togethers please bring down what you have. I am sure you could sell a few of your decoys! I would love to add one to my collection someday.

Ok here we go I hope this works, This first decoy was made by Berry Dowagiac in 1988, the second is made by Tom Christianson, a four point Heddon Replica. Number three is by James Stangland in Baudette where I just returned from and the walleye fishing was the best ever. Number four is by Harold Miller I don't know much about him but I sure liked this decoy. and last but not least, This one is made by David rasmussen, full body scale and very bright. Well I hope you enjoyed this pictures, and I hope I loaded them correctly.

I found a picture of a pair of decoys I made as gifts, nothing fancy, one is on the desk at Ballards resort up at LOW, and the other was given as a gift to a guy that made me a custom jigging rod.
