Thanks for the comments, guys! Rogerio, I did catch and paint the rainbow Gyotaku! It is the first print I've made on my own, and I was very pleased with how it came out. I caught the fish on a fly rod I built, with a fly I tied! I'll be printing alot more fish, in the future, and will probably use them for background on more pics! Thanks again.

That is one of a kind handle. Very well done, the picture and the rod. What is that buggy looking fly? I would like to tie one of those for bass fishing.

Hi Ellis. Thank you. Your email is hidden, so if you see this, the top fly is an olive and brown crawdad, and the bottom fly is a sculpin pattern. It has red hourglass eyes under the maribou that is the head. Email me if you want better pictures!
