The "Ole Fishin Hole"


I remember as a kid watching "The Andy Griffith Show" with Andy and Opie walking side by side and Opie picking up rocks and tossing them as they walked.  This whimsical rendition of a fish is what I pictured on the end of Opie's stringer.  

Made from all discarded metal, a shovel head is the main component of the the body with an old fan blade for its gill and a saw blade for it's top fin.  Other found metal has been manipulated to form the remainder of the fish's body.

This piece is along a path and points the way to "The Fishin Hole"
