my sister in law wanted to make a present for her dad Nicky who is an avid flyfisher back home. Mainly trout, salmon, sea trout and sea bass, some of you may have met him at the odd club meet with me once or twice. So she asked me to let her tie three flies in different colours, one representing her, and the other two representing her two daughters so that she could then display them in a photograph frame and give it to her dad. We have tied up three nice flies, and she has done very very well I might add! A 2O Clouser, Size 2 surf candy and a size 2 crazy charlie gotcha. Now we are trying to figure out how to hang / display these within the photo frame. Ideally they would be out a bit from the backing so you can get the shadows and writing under each fly.
Any advice on how we could go about mounting these? Have thought about sticking a pin into the card and gluing the hook to the pin (not sure how this would hold up, especially on the flight back home), or else maybe use those crocodile clips people use for holding individual photos.
Will load a pic or two of the flies when I figure out how to now that photobucket has stopped working.
Cheers,
Dee
