Arlen was born in 1929 in Minnesota. He started darkhouse decoy fishing when he was 12 years old and after becoming disappointed with commercial plastic fish decoys started making his own and he was still making them in 2005. Arlen is listed in Kimball's book "Fish Decoy" and the Don Peterson, Ph.D., book "Fish Decoy Makers Past an Present". His decoys have won numerous awards and 2 are pictured on decoys prints. This 7" brown trout is stamped SVARE in the lead ...on the bottom of the fish. It is a weighted fish decoy with metal fins. It has a carved mouth and tail, and glass eyes. I took a few closeup photos to show you the detail in his carving and painting. Arlen's painting is amazing. This is a beautiful fish.I use calculated shipping.
