Forgotten Flies - Schmookler and Sils
Tying note: I tied this fly per the photo in the book “Forgotten Flies”. Not all photos in the book match the tying recipe.
I love your blog. Learned a lot about the flies
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I remember my dad sitting down for hours on end tying flies just so I could take them and get them stuck in a tree. Great piece, brought back some good memories.
