Title	Fishing decoys
Subject	Fishing Fishing decoys Wood-carving
Description	These wooden fish decoys are hand carved from wood, painted to look like real fish with tin fins, contain metal weights inside and have no attached hooks. Fish decoys are used when fishing through ice to lure a fish into the range of a spear. Ice-fishing and the use of decoys is common in more northern states where lakes freeze over in winter. Although designed to be a tool for getting food, fish decoys are now collected as folk art.
