Disclosed is an apparatus for simulating a flying fish which includes a pump, piping connected to the pump, a tube bundle connected to an end of the piping opposite from the pump for dividing pressurized water within the piping into parallel section of flowing water thereby creating a columnarized flow, a rotating disc having apertures located adjacent to an end of the tube bundle from which the divided flow of water is ejected, the rotating disc creating alternating portions of deflected and projected water, the projected portions simulating a flying fish, particularly when the apparatus is situated in a first body of water and the projected portions are directed at a second body of water.

[ I claim:] [14.] A method for simulating a flying fish, including the steps of:a) providing a pressurized and uncolumnarized supply of water from a first body of water using a pump having a conduit;b) columnarizing the pressurized water by directing the water through a set of closely spaced passage

[ I claim:] [14.] A method for simulating a flying fish, including the steps of:a) providing a pressurized and uncolumnarized supply of water from a first body of water using a pump having a conduit;b) columnarizing the pressurized water by directing the water through a set of closely spaced passages connected to the conduit which are sufficiently elongated so as to create a plurality of water streams, the set of closely spaced passages having terminal ends from which a plurality of water streams are ejected; andc) trimming the columnarized water streams to create alternating deflected and generally unimpeded projected portion by periodically driving at least one surface of a flow trimmer into and out of an impinging relationship with the columnarized water streams, the projected portion targeted at a second body of water.
