lumpy Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Kispiox Special. This year I want to swing old school patterns for steelhead on a single hand rod. Just wish I could find some old school down-eye hooks some of these would have been tied on. Mustad 3666 Mustad 80500BL to name only two. 4 Quote
lumpy Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Got these in the mail last night. A gift from Art Lindgren. These hook were in production between the 20's to the mid 60's are they are the same hooks Rodrick Haig-Brown, Bill Nation, General Noel Money, and Tommy Brayshaw would have been using for some of their steelhead flies. 1 Quote

muha Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 That previous fly looks like a sail ship. Great work ggp on all of your flies. What inspires you? 1 Quote
ggp Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks muha, I just enjoy tying these types of flies. Quote
Swede Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Wow Gary its sure been a pleasure watching you progress from small winged wets to these magnificent salmon flies. I've been tying for quite awhile and i still just tie what I need when I need it Wouldn't mind buying a few of your ties just to mount on some driftwood and put it on my tying desk for inspiration. 1 Quote
ggp Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks GrnDrake, since I started learning to tie these flies it's been a labour of love. They have definitely renewed the joy of tying for me. As far as selling some, I'm not sure I'm there yet. Quote
