Fly Tying

Card Full     View in Low Resolution     Thu Jun 28 14:46:11 MDT 2007 Closeup images of these new George Grant nymphs will probably appear sometime soon. These are Mike Wilkerson's flies. So thank you Mike. These are great flies. Seeing ten George Grant flies side-by-side like this makes them all look pretty much the same. Which, in some respects, they are. There is some variation in the hackle fiber coloring here, but the main difference is in the body graphics. George attained the semi-translucent effect he wanted by wrapping each cigar-shaped body with flat monofilament. In daylight the monofilament over-wrapping has a tendancy to make all these flies look alike. But when you immerse them in water (don't worry Mike, I did this to my George Grant flies, not yours), the differences in the body coloring stands out more prominently. These are spectacular flies. I think the Sandy Brown Featherback (like Franz Pott's Sandy Mite) is clearly the best of the lot.
