And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Being totally pedantic, those look more like Royal Coachman flies. Royal Wulffs have elk/deer hair tails not golden pheasant. Also the one with wings has feather wings not hair wings as per a Royal Wulff. Still a killer selection.
Can just imagine, its right at dusk, rising early moon reflected on the water, float my fly just at the right spot and before it hits the water slam! Nice fat brookie sets the hook itself. Put that baby in the creel, gonna be a nice breakfast tomorrow. Let the pool settle down, give it 15 minutes, again bam! Another choice brookie... magical moment, the world's so still.
Dry flies...Elkhaired caddis and some Royal Wulfs
ReplyDeleteAh, you beat me. Just going to say I spotted by favorite dry, the Royal Wulff. Also love me some Humpy; made my own version of it.
ReplyDeleteThe EHC is an absolute crusher. I’ve caught more fish on that fly than any other by far. Done in black it kills it.

Referring to the Royal Wulff at the back, not the Royal Coachmans (Coachmen?) in the front.
DeleteA killer collection....
