New Fishin Buddy
Alright guys, I recently bought a German Shorthair Pointer pup and I intend on training her to hunt shed antlers. I'm gonna integrate them into my custom rod handles. She's 6 weeks old and an absolute joy to be around. I've had her for a week now and I'm having an aweful time coming up with a name for her. My OCD won't let me settle on one till it's perfect. I'm looking for something fishing related and preferably two syllables. So, help me out guys. All suggestions are much appreciated. I'm going crazy!!!

Just as a side note, my last dog's name was Dixie, so that name is out. Thanks for any suggestions!!

I didn't really clarify that it's a girl.

Beautiful pup. I'm fresh out of names but you did mention training her to hunt sheds. I would take that a step further and teach her to blood trail deer also. Huge money changes hands between folks who have dogs that blood trail and folks who can't find their buck of a lifetime.
Now is the time to get with a local taxidermist and see if you can acquire some deer blood to freeze and use for trailing training. You might find a deer hunting buddy who would be willing to save some blood for you when field dressing a deer. It freezes great in ziplock bags and it only take a small amount per training session. One of my lab pups is owned by a guy who dual trained her and he could name his price when the phone rings and it's a frantic hunter who needs help finding his buck.
Some folks might look at that as taking advantage of a bad situation but why not pay for a bunch of food and vet bills by using her to do something she was bred to do. Scent trailing is in her blood.
