This particular moose antler I found in the summer of 1996 east of Prince George. It wasn't until 2001 did I know what would become of it. While admiring the shape, a scene of a fly fisherman catching a fish developed before my eyes. The scene was so vivid that it wasn't at all difficult to begin cutting. Upon completion of the carving, I felt no connection between the man and fish had been made. This was solved by applying fishing line from the man's reel through one of the tines and into the fish's mouth.
Feel the vigorous struggle and the taut fishing line. Imagine the fluttering end of the fishing rod while listening to the water splashing as the fish dances across the surface trying to free itself. How does the story end? The fish was caught. And then released.
