Title: Identify the fly... Just for fun
Post by: scotfly on July 31, 2007, 12:28:59 AM
This fly was tied by a local tying legend many years ago.
Just for fun who can name it. If needed I will give some clues as to its obvious name.

No not Rob Roy.
Don't think this one has travelled far, not many having a go.. You must all be stumped.
Ok, I said there was a clue in the post already... The clue is "Local" and no it's not local hero.

Ok, some good guesses, but wrong kind of local.

I'm not a Doonhamer though.
I'll put the "give it away" clue tomorrow night, unless of course someone gets it before then.

The Brown Turkey, now that is a GOOD fly for Seatrout and Salmon.
Think I'll do that for my next step by step.
