| Description |
Greenwell's Glory trout fly is a popular old English
pattern in green or yellow. It is believed to have originated on the
Tweed in the 1850's when Canon William Greenwell asked James Wright
to produce a fly that represented the local olivegreen dun found on
the local waters. From there it has spread around the world as one
of the most enduring and effective patterns. It is produced in both
wet and dry variants and there is even a nymph pattern. |
