Well, tickle my tackle box
It's a fly fishing bear
On the edge of the rocks
He casts his line with great care
"I got him, I got him!" I heard the bear shout
It sure looks to me like he caught a brook trout!
Will it soon end up fried in a pan full of grease
Or do fly fishing bears practice catch and release?

This card is being sent full of "get well fishes" to Dante, an 8 year old who just received a bone marrow transplant from his sister. Dante loves fishing, so this week the Teapot Tuesday Challenge and Destination Station is dedicated to him.
I found this adorable vintage image at Digital Two for Tuesday. It was taken from a book about Roosevelt Bears by Seymour Eaton and illustrated by V. Floyd Campbell and RK Culver.
The image was colored with Copics and sponged around the edges with Soft Suede. Drew the fishing lure, colored it, cut it out and popped it on a scrap of DP.
Thanks for looking!
