Welcome to Dutch Creek Decoys!

My name is Brad Snodgrass and I am a decoy carver living and working adjacent to the beautiful Trinity River, one of Northern California's premier steelhead and salmon streams.

My life in California was preceded by 35 years, working, hunting and fishing in Alaska during its "golden years". You will find this experience reflected in my work, and you will see my affinity to birds and fish of that northern region. I have been blessed to hold in my hands, many species that most people will never have the opportunity to see.

I now compete successfuly in several west coast shows, and my birds have been purchased by collectors from all over the country. I was recently asked to conduct a carving seminar sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Ward Wildlife Museum in Salisbury, MD, and may be offering a couple of carving seminars in 2012.

Some of the birds on the website are for sale. Photos of sold birds are shown on the site as examples of the quality of my work. If you wish to purchase a bird, please contact me for prices.

Featured Carving My Pied Billed Grebe full decorative is the featured carving, and is available for sale. For larger images, click on the photo.
