Not a wingless wet

Post by Donald Nicolson » Tue Aug 28, 2012 7:02 am

Not a wingless wet, a Glanrhos wet.
A smaller wing than the previous dressings,
but the rib could have been better.

It is a pattern by Sylvester Nemes.

I imagine on the wee streams this would be a heck of a fly the trout's would find hard to pass over. Nice light delicate fly for nice wee delicate waters.

This is another version,

No Tail.
These were not fished on a small stream but on the river Wye in Wales.
Here is more info.

Donald - I am a fan of the Glanrhos style dressings. I love your dressing. When I clicked on your link, and saw the painting of the River Wye, I sat here imaging the fly drifting thru the pool. Sigh...It is so nice to get lost in a moment like that...Thank you.

Donald, Howdy;

Beautiful flys. Like the way you used the Buttonhole twist
as the abdomen and achieve the segmented effect. Very
nice touch 8-)
Liked the painting in the link as well. :D
