Angler's Club Bulletin Flymphs

Post by Old Hat » Thu Oct 18, 2018 4:56 pm

Finished up photographing the Hidy flymphs I tied from the Angler's Club Bulletin, Vol. 53, No.3, Autumn, 1974.

There were 6 patterns published in this bulletin. The patterns did not list tails or (whisps) but the photos showed tails on each pattern except the Brown Hackle.

A big thanks goes out to Ray and William for helping me out with the ash silk and samples of suitable replacements.

Also, with a bit of embarrassment, I have lost/forgotten who sent me the hooks I used for these patterns. Nice round bend, forged, looped eye...I'm pretty sure it was someone on this forum.

Here is photo of the patterns and their recipes.

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Brown Hackle - edited: just realized the golden badger hackle color didn't really come through with the light in the photo. It is golden badger though.

Old/New Hat, Howdy;

Outstanding (not in the rain), looking flies!!! 8-)

As usual, your pix are some of the bestest.

Are you going to frame this set of flies? It would make a beautiful set, mounted around the old b/w bulletin image and patterns.

Good stuff Carl. Your attention to detail is admirable.

Cool hooks! Barbless up-eyes? Neat!

Thanks everyone. I'm enjoying this endeavor. Sports Illustrated and Angler's Bulletin is finished. 2 more publications to go.

Yes Ray, I plan on mounting these. I have just enough hooks to do all the patterns. I don't know if I'll do a mount for each publication or mount them all together, but the idea of the pattern illustration with the flies would be cool.
