 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:
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". |
