About Us

(formerly Fish Decoys Net)

Founded 2001 by Larry Christy as a collector, wood worker and photographer.

Folk Art is what we like in the specialties of hunting, fishing and the general outdoors.

Our mission statement is
‘Providing good and as accurate information as memories allow us’

This site was first created in 2001 for the purpose of becoming the de facto source or the DECOY-PEDIA™ of the fish decoy carving. It is our hope that we meet the accuracy and quantity that is required to be the PEDIA of the FISH. Today (2016) we are expanding to include bird decoy artist that make bird decoys and sporting artist’s work.

Decoy-Pedia is an in-progress website – meaning that as information becomes available it is be posted or updated. This site is for the distribution of  knowledge on Decoy, both bird and fish decoys and for both the researchers, carvers, gazers and collectors.

It is our hope that you enjoy the site as much as we have in creating. Please use the Decoy-Pedia website for research and enjoyment of the craft art.

Your comments and information are always welcomed and if possible I will reply.
