[email protected] 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2023 Hello All, New here. Been flyfishing for too many years to mention, and over the years, I have collected many flies and fly plates by many tyers. I was cleaning out a drawer and ran across these, and for the life of me, I can't remember where I got them from and who tied them! I can't make out the signature and thought perhaps, someone here has run across him, or can give me more information on the tyer. What I can possibly make out...: Gordon B. Mache----- Red--------tt (??) Thank you all, in advance, Robert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SalarMan 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2023 I tried googling that and a variation or 2 with no luck. I'm hoping Norm (flytire) gets involved. He is usually great at tracking down these kinds of things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2023 My Google search uncovered that this fly is called a Jordon B. Mackey of Redcasta and was tied by Admiral Lord Nelson, a renowned fly fisher and tier who they ultimate named a Salmon fly after. The internet is never wrong.
