Santa was good.

A christmas gift from my son. A Rustico fly wallet measuring 6 inches by 3 inches. Decided to fill it up with winged wet flies mentioned in W.C. Stewart's The Practical Angler published in 1857. From top: woodcock and yellow; hares ear dubbed on orange silk with woodcock wing; hares ear dubbed on black silk with starling hackle and woodcock wing; hear ear dubbed on primrose silk with mallard tail and woodcock wing. Old things are good things. Wallet is small enough to tuck into pocket for a hike

I can think of a few ponds where we can put the flies to work.

One of my daughters gave me a leather fly wallet as well! Beautiful. I like classic things. Now to give it some patina.
