Dad's old fishing lures

[Gut Shot]

Dad's been gone for nearly 18 years now. He was a lifelong fisherman and I had his old tackle box stuffed in a corner of the basement. I raid it every once in a while if I can't find the right size/type of hook or sinker, but otherwise the lures don't get used. So I started going through it and decided to set some of the old lures into a shadow box.

Folded up in the bottom of the box were the Iowa regulation booklets from 1977 and 1979.

Nice collection. It's a shame I could never leave something behind like this, cuz mine always end up on a log....
