FLYMPH FORUM

I was reading a book about flyfishing: Miracleflies 2 of Leon Janssen. It is mostly about dry flies but the chapter about a grey sedge inspired me to tie a wingles wet sedge: the Grey Flag ww and with a little modification the Grannom ww.






the Grannom ww just from above.

Ruard - Wow! These are remarkable. Outstanding flies, and the photos present them beautifully. Kudos, my friend.

Fantastic flies!!

Very nice Ruard!

Ruard,

Very nice flies and well tied.

After some discussion with Mike a couple yearsago I came up with this for a Grannom. It works well here on Washington streams.

Nice one REE.....

Beautiful flies. They should match those grannoms well. The photos do a wonderful job at showing the detail.

Ruard,
I simply can't say it any better than Ray (letumgo) can. These are wonderful pictures of a very classy looking pattern! Well done friend!
