Jack Scott: This famous full feather wing fly was created by John (Jack) Scott, a Ghillie for several different British Lords in the middle 1800's. In its day it was referred to as "the ultimate triumph in harmony and proportions". The harmony comments on the marvelous way the colors blend together and make a flowing change from head to tail. This fly truly is a thing of beauty.
