Default Gene's fisherman
Just got this fella finished off this morning. He stands 6" tall soles to hat!
I did this one from Gene's excellent tuitorial on Youtube. Gave him a fly rod with a 'Greenwell's Glory' on the end and he bagged a 3lb Rainbow! LOL!
I mounted him on a 2" square piece of cherry I had kicking around.
Hope you like him!
