Romancing the Stone

After countless hours at the vice , this is what Murray made happen. For those of you who did not notice the hook , have a real close look. The detail is unbelievable, it might even look as if the real thing was skewered to be fish food. Take note of the vanes on the the wings, all done by hand and a lot of patience. You will also notice the segmentation on the body… and the claw tips at the end of the feet. A true master piece demonstrating technique , material manipulation and craftsmanship. This truly reflects the passion Murray has for the art of Fly Tying. Currently Murray is busy with a Leopard Frog , once done we will post it to the blog. Off course these flies are for sale , Murray can also be commissioned to tie your fly of choice. You can contact Murray on : +27 11 705 1190 +27 11 467 2034 murray@flyfishers.co.za
