Thanks, Patrick
Yes, I was a Registered Maine Guide specializing in fly fishing-- from trout to sharks. I wrote a book on fly fishing history in 1997. Last weekend I was recognized for that book and inducted into the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame.
I carved decoys and built rods from 1968 until 1982, when I closed the tackle shop.
I also carved scrimshaw until 1978 when the US Government decided that dead whales needed protection. That law banned the interstate commerce of whale's teeth. Here is a pic of a great blue heron.
