Recently artist Kate Hall finished a color pencil artwork called the 'Riverside Relics'.
I think it's stunning! Inspired by this artwork this fly came about.
The rich brown tones (bamboo rod, fly box, table, patina of the fly reel case, foldable knife) are represented by the deep brown tones of the tailing fibers as well as the hackle collar. The grey tones (especially the vintage Perfect reel but also the knot tool) comes back with the grey mallard wings.
The body is made of mix of black and purple seal's fur for a more rough structure of the (assumed) aged fisherman. The green tones (Filson vest, rod bag) are accentuated with the ribbing using the vintage bright green tinsel.
