Incredible execution by Charles Kellman of a miniature version of a Northern Pike fry, measuring 2-5/8" from nose to tip of tail (2-1/16" body), finished in golds, silvers, and whites with tiny hand painted stripes and spots, painted eyes and mouth, and carved and painted gill marks! All feather fins and tail are present, making this not only rare, but extraordinarily beautiful! Condition is outstanding! Exact bait is pictured in "Old FLyrod Lures" by the Muma brothers on page 118 up right.
