Thanks for taking the time to photograph the flies.
Can see where you are getting your inspiration from when tying your modern templedog style versions

Nice one Tony.
I've got a few boxes of old flies. I'll put up a few photos to see if they can be identified.

Excellent photos Tony, loving the old catchbook underneath +1 on that! I've heard/read about these 'Pool Logs' but never seen one. To borrow a dated term: "How Cool Is That?!" fae |

Thanks for putting these up Tony. These old flies are works of art arent they, your grandfather must have witnessed some exceptional fishing on Kinnaird |

is that a 42lber next to the Yellow Torrish Aye it is Duncan, Kinnaird was one of the best beats on the Tay for the chance to get a big fish. I'll post some more pics of the diary, the average weights of the springers are amazing |

I will when I find it in the loft, a picture framed with some old flies mounted in it. There are some with Gut eyes and look as old as those ones Tony.
If I recall there is one called the Lion! I had never heard of that before. Anyone on here recall this name of a salmon fly?

Do you have a picture or a pattern I could take a gander at to see if its the same as the one in the frame? |
