Captain Hamilton hailing from north of England (Scotland) is probably the reason that 3 of the 5 flies shown in the display are obviously "Clyde Style" soft hackle wet flies. Clyde Style (from the river Clyde) has a unique wing shape that is unmistakable. With all the adaptations through the years, with new fly categories (dry, nymph, emerger…) these soft hackle wet flies are still very effective at catching fish. ~Parnelli
