Attaching fish to fishing pole:

You Need Yarn Color of Choice, Tapestry Needle and Dowel Rod.

Cut a long piece of “fishing line”, insert the tapestry needle with the “fishing line” yarn through the magic ring of the fish and pull it out the other side (the tail of the fish), if you would like you can weave the “fishing line” yarn through the stuffing a few times to help secure it in place.  Then finish off and go back to sewing up round 16 of the fish.  Using the long tail and your tapestry needle, sew round 16 closed.   Then using the other end of fishing line and wrap it around an end of the dowel rod several times and then tie a knot.
