SWAN:  ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR<br>WITH SALMON FLIES

This is a salmon fisherman's delight. In the center is a 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" original watercolor of a leaping salmon by John Swan. Orbiting the watercolor are twelve hand-tied salmon flies by twelve famous makers of fishing flies. The list of flies and their creators is as follows:

         FLY    TIED BY
     
1. KATE Ted Kantner
2. JOCK SCOTT Paul Filippone
3. FIERY BROWN John Boulier
4. BERESFORD FANCY Bob Veverka
5. MAR-LODGE Maxwell MacPherson
6. GORDON Mike Wheelden
7. GREEN HIGHLANDER Dorothy Douglass
8. GOLDEN BUTTERFLY Paul Morris
9. BLACK DOG Bob Warren
10. CHILDERS Bill Wilbur
11. DURHAM RANGER Poul Jorgensen
12. SILVER GREY Paul Martin

Each fly is framed in shadowbox fashion and creates a very dramatic effect.  Inserted in a pocket on the back of the frame is a list of the flies with the signature of the craftsman who tied the fly. Please click on the pictures below to see detailed images of this fascinating piece.

This is a very special piece.  A number of craftsmen who created these flies are no longer working.  The flies alone are collector's items.  The outside dimensions of the frame are 22 1/4" x 26 1/2" x 2".
