Wickham's Fancy

Post by Updtate » Sat Jan 02, 2021 1:53 pm

Tied in a Tweed Style with split Starling wings. Found this age old pattern in Roger Fogg's book The Art of the Wet Fly.

The Tweed style seems to be one of those ignored by today’s fly tyers. It’s great to see someone keeping them alive. Thanks! If you want some inspiration, look here:

I have heard so much about this fly, but never saw one. Every time I looked it up on the internet it showed me different flies, so I didn't know what I was looking at.

Is it true that this fly is a must in any fly box?
