Default Amazing model trout - for free

Found this amazing site by a Japanese artist and Trout lover. You can download and print model templates of Trout. You cut then out and glue them togther. Trouts and Seasons of The Mountain Village - Paper Trout of Japan

They are exquisite. I have two on my desk; I look at them, half close my eyes and Hey Presto! I am on the banks of a Scottish River ready to cast my fly over a lovely Trout.................

This guy (Yoshikazu Fujioka) is a genious. Hereminds me of Roger McPhail.

Give it a try! What a great way to involve and interest weanes and grand weanes in fishing...........

Not easy but lovely when finished. Getting the head and dorsal fin right is the hardest part............

You'll need to take a good drink first Debs to stop your hands shaking.

I used ordinary printer paper plus a Prittstick, this worked amazingly well.

Are you following me about on these threads? No amount of drink would have made this easier or harder
