GREY DRAKE

Progress through tradition, respect through stewardship.

Who got out and fished this weekend 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️? | #thegreydrake
Syl Nemes reintroduced fishing soft hackle flies to the modern angling masses many years ago. His Syl’s Midge is one of his best, and our River Road Spider is a tribute to him and a classic snipe & purple. | #thegreydrake ~ Hook: TMC 206bl #18 Thread: 14/0 black Tag: Copper Wire Body: Purple Peacock Herl Hackle: Starling
S 47 passed through the Senate, but needs passage through the House to make it in front of the president. In a time of extremes and disagreement, it’s time to come together to conserve the resources that make America great. Visit tu.org/actioncenter to contact your representative.
Winters Hope Variation. In hand 🧵. The last few ties to fill up a winter steelhead wallet headed up and left in a few weeks. Here’s to hoping. | #thegreydrake #flytying
Tying in hand is different. Having tied a few soft hackles in hand previously, yesterday was the first go with larger patterns. Overall totally enjoyable. Winters Hope 1.5 | #thegreydrake #flytying
Salt Lake got obliterated by snow again. Looks like another good day to sit at the vice and whip up some of these. | #thegreydrake #flytying #snowday
Dream Catcher | #thegreydrake ~ I often sit and stare at a fly after I finish tying. Imagining and dreaming about the places it will swim and the fish it might see. All my hopes and dreams lay in these feathers. This is a wild hobby. #flytying #tradition #steelhead
Winters Hope... |#thegreydrake #wintersteelhead #flyfishing
Sunny winter days. Don’t make it complicated, #18 purple soft hackle will get you into plenty of fish. | #thegreydrake
It’s time you re-up your kit for 2019. Buy a Sol Duc wallet, fish your brains out, build a lifetime of memories, repeat | #thegreydrake #flyfishing
When you only get to swing for steelhead a handful of times per year, you might as well take all your feathers for a swim | #thegreydrake #flytying #flyfishing
Jaws. ~ Fish look better in the water. We are going to do our best to avoid grip and grins this year. ~ It’s better for the fish and avoids the same played out content we’ve all seen a million times. #defendwildfish #thegreydrake #keepemwet
