Granddad's Fishing Flies

My granddad was a fly fisherman. He used to enjoy this pastime in the coves at their lake home. Since Granddad died when I was quite young, I never fished with him. My dad, however,  has shown me the spots at the lake where he and his dad fly fished. I got some of the fishing flies from my dad and created this shadow box yesterday.

 

It's tough to get a good close-up because I kept

getting a glare from the glass. The individual flies

are hooked through a backing I made of padding and burlap.
