No. 3 - No Name Spey Fly

Graphite on sketch paper. No fly in particular, just started with a hook and just created the shape. I added the flowing heron. We may not be able to use heron in the US, but that will not stop me from drawing it.

I was curious: why are herons not used in the US? (As if I know anything about flyfishing, LOL.); January 8, 2008 at 12:35 AM
Jeff (trout bum) said...: Pippa,
Herons are considered endangered and you are not able to posses the feathers. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!; January 8, 2008 at 6:33 PM

About Drawing Flies

I initiated the creation of this blog as a challenge. The challenge is to draw a fly a day for an entire year. Part of the challenge is the discipline to accomplish this every day and the other is to expand my creativity and to help find my artistic voice. The sky is the limit on how the flies will be created. You may have wondered, "why is he drawing flies?" My other hobby is fly fishing and fly tying. I also welcome the challenge of drawing the natural materials that are used in the flies. So hang on and enjoy the ride for the next 365 days!
