Thank You Pete!
My uncles place is within 15 miles of Lake Fairfield...
Been researching the Redfish bite on this lake.

Are y'all using a boat?
Or just stalking the shallows?

Gus,we get out of the boat ,either sneaking down the bank or wading.   I had'nt talked to any redfish people in a while,but I know the population was really hurt 2 summers ago with the big fish kill,(algae bloom).I saw plenty of reds (hundreds,if not thousands),over 36" floating belly up.  God Bless

just a thought could these fish be used for bow backs if skinned and dried?

Dog Gone It Pete...
That is some sad news.
Was hoping to put my uncle on some Local Reds without him having to leave the Ranch and drive to Houston.
But what can ya do?

Thank You for the hunting tip for Fairfield Lake just the same.
Have to see if I can get over there this spring and give it a try.

I have no doubt that you could back a bow with Redfish Rawhide.
The problem is, I'm not sure how you would keep the Color in the hide.
The lovely Reds and Golds tend to fade to white before I get them home packed in ice.
Hoping to give them another try this year... and maybe a shark or two.
