The Framed flies offered by Bob Wright of Heritage Classics, can be described both by virtue of the ancient origins of the patterns he ties and because of the high standard of dressing. The selection available embraces 12 individual flies, including well-known Victorian classics such as Jock Scott and Ackroyd, but also less well-known patterns like Aglaia and the Spirit fly; in addition, there are slightly more recent classics like the Silver Wilkinson,Mar Lodge and Dusty Miller. There are also collections of salmon flies from Spey, Dee,Tay and Tweed, plus other traditional patterns. Trout Flies are represented by collections of classic Loch Leven flies and Scottish Highland loch flies. The Victorian patterns are tied on the correct style of hook, using the correct materials where possible. Every fly is identified. Framing and mounting is good.
Boxed dressed flies really do make a lovely christmas present, particulary when they are dressed by Heritage Classic flies. With over 30 years experience proprietor Bob Wright has turned his hobby into a business and is aiming specifically at the retail trade. Bobs flies can only be described as classic as he uses hooks and materials that match the period he is emulating. The flies are beautifully tied and come in attractive boxed sets, packed suitable for sending throught the post by the retailer and come with frame hanging kit and an information sheet on the history of the flies.
