Website Changes 4/19/09

We have recently updated the Dark Water News page with some of Rich's recent competition results and it's been a good year at the contests!  See the "Awards" page for details and photos.  Thanks to all of you who came to see us at the Tuckerton, NJ Decoy show where we had a lot of fish swimming off to new homes. It was great to see so many old and new customers despite not so great weather.

In this update, we have added 19 new carvings that are now available from the site.  Many of these were carvings only available by special order and are now in stock and available, while there are also several rarely seen fish from Rich, including a Gar, Cisco (Tullibee), and Paddlefish.  Rich is in full swing carving for his May shows and we will be listing other new carvings in the next several weeks so check back often.

We have updated the Awards page with photos of Rich's 2008 World Championship winners and their awards.

Online shopping still available through Pay Pal.  Purchases can also be made with check or money order.  Shipping charges on online purchases will be a flat $7.50 per fish including insurance for orders within the continental United States.  Overseas buyers please email for shipping costs.
