Finished a frame this evening that have been in my mind since past midsummer. The frame was built in July, I have known all along which fly I wanted to frame so I have been looking for a suitable background picture and a few weeks ago I finally found it, my buddy Per -Anders Nilsson posted a picture on Facebook of a really nice caddis so I asked him and luckily he let me borrow the picture for a couple of frames.
The frame is not a boxframe from the beginning, it was hard to find a nice frame so I gave up and bought a nice frame that remade as a boxframe. Some work but totally worth it.
I decided to make two similar flies and position them in different poses and directions to make the fly as visible as possible.
A close-up on one of the flies, my Streaking Quill off course tied on a sexy Partridge SLD. This fly started me up as a flytyer, has since it´s birth been a dear friend of mine.
I made 2 frames this evening to see how my idea would work, I´m pretty satisfied and have decided that I will make 10 of them no more, no less.. So now I need to get my but away to buy some wood:-)
Over and out
