Here's another thought - have the major fish parts (head, top half,
bottom half, fins) each solid in the graphic, but sew them out using
selected multi-color threads. I was just looking through the family's
stash of Madeira threads and see quite a few that would give a nice
varigated effect in appropriate fish colors.
I tried some re-drawing of the fish but didn't get very far.
Other parts that might need a little evening out would be the handles
of the fishing rods and possibly the reels.
