WOW, the answer to this question should be looking you right in the face  :laugh: . Why not just plan a trip for some gills and catch one around 8 or 9 inches and throw it on the board you want to carve and then trace it out, also you might want to take a few pics to match up with the decoy  ;) . GOOD LUCK, and post some pics when your done  ;D .

Hello,  found this one at darkwaterdecoys.com.  He does some nice work.  I've not tried making a 'gill yet.  Don't have any up here in AK, but I reckon the pike wouldn't know or care, so I might make one anyway.  Good Luck!
