Than you Bruce, it’s almost eight years old and still looks great……but all of Tim’s work is incredible….I recycled it so Carl could see it yesterday…….

Thanks Carl…..I’m a big fan of Fliers and this is a special piece and a tribute to the overlooked panfish species…….

This is my Flier art by Tim Overbaugh……he might do the best fish I’ve ever seen

Tim has a great imagination and comes up with something for every piece of his work.....I was so excited to see this Flier displayed on top of a picture of the water where it was caught......really cool idea and it has been a major conversation piece around here.......very few folks including anglers have ever seen a flier mount much less one that looks this life like........a real tribute to this fish and the species as a whole!

Beautiful work!

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on November 28, 2013 at 3:55am

Just a piece I will cherish for years to come......This is a Citation Flier in the 9" class.Jim......Tim has a great imagination with his work and it was solely his idea to put the picture of Beaver Creek in the background.....This fish was caught in late May of last year on the pictured creek off the Pasquotank River and it's yet another custom cast that looks releasable..... Fliers don't get the love and attention of their sunfish cousins and understandingly so....but a little recognition is well deserved and Tim is the right guy if you ever want to remember a trophy.....Thanks again Tim for creating a memory........
