I don't think it's fishing related. Not sure what it is. Looks like a pipe preform Can you show us the hole end closer up? Also can you put in a ruler or something for scale?

Now it looks like a banner preform. Did you find this on a site or in association w/ native american artifacts?

Looks like a white man's knife/sickle sharpener from the 1900s. Gimme a break here guys, these things are not rare, they were sharpening stones with a wood handle. That one is worn way down but that is what it is. Google "sickle sharpener with wood handle", go to images, and you will see a bunch of them. I can't believe people think these are NA but I see them often being touted as such. Heck, I mean I am 72 but used one of these handled sickle sharpeners when I was a boy.
