I am looking to buy a weather vane that I saw several years ago in a
catalog.  I don't remember which catalog, nor have I seen it recently.
The weather vane depicted a cowboy riding a salmon.  It may have been
made of copper.
I belive the artists are from the Seattle area and have exhibited
their work at the Rest of the Best Fest in Bellevue WA, although not
recently, I am told.
Any information you can find on where to purchase this weather vane
will be appreciated.

Hi lean,

The "Buckin' Salmon" weather vane design is by J Dub, and features a
cowboy riding a bucking salmon:

continental US):

The same design is also available as a matching coat rack:

I also checked the online catalog search at Google, but did not find
