Abstract: A fish decoy for fishing in a body of water comprising a sheet of flexible material having a top peripheral edge, a bottom peripheral edge, and two side peripheral edges, the sheet having a plurality of images of a preselected species of fish printed thereon. An elongated horizontally oriented float is affixed to the top edge of the flexible sheet, a weight is attached to the bottom peripheral edge of the sheet, with the float and weight cooperating to position the sheet in a substantially vertical orientation at a depth in the body of water appropriate for the preselected species of fish. The decoy also comprises a transparent hollow substantially neutrally buoyant cylinder attached to one peripheral edge of the sheet, the cylinder having a left portion and a right portion. The left portion has a permanently affixed solid left end wall, the right portion has either perforations or holes in the cylindrical right portion side wall or the right end wall, the right end wall being removably replaceable.

Abstract: A fishing decoy made up of thin sheets of transparent material with a plurality of inflatable fish images projected thereon, for the purpose of attracting fish to a particular fishing area. The transparent sheets carry a plurality of fish images in color, with a pictorial of seaweed and the like surrounding the fish images so that they appear to be swimming in their natural habitat. The transparent sheets have an air flotation chamber extending along the upper edge and a series of weights attached along the lower edge to maintain the sheet in a substantially vertical plane. Wave action and other external forces cause a rippling action in the sheets giving the fish images the appearance of swimming and a more life-like appearance.
