Frames

Most people really enjoy my salmon fly domes, but often don't have a reasonable place to put them. Face it, most of us don't even have an empty horizontal surface in our homes, let alone a den or a sporting room. For this reason, I began to offer single flies in a variety of frame types. I plan on putting together some multi-fly frames, but so far have not caught up enough to do one.

I order frames from a wholesaler, but also pick them up as I come across them. I've been known to frequent thrift shops and antique stores to find just the right frame.

Bereford's Fancy salmon fly in wooden frame

This is a Bereford's Fancy, which I like because of its complex wing. I love this frame, which came from a craft fair in England.

This is a Dusty Miller in a simple 5 x 7 oak frame. I like the Dusty Miller because of the way the browns and oranges come together.

OK, not a frame that would exactly fit in my house, but some customers like something a little more formal.

I assemble high-quality wooden frames for these mounts (whether purchased or recycled), use UV-proof glass, dust covers, and cut the mats myself.
