Happy Independence Day. This is my favorite old fly envelope. The graphics embody U.S. patriotism. The American Eagle dominating Great Britains Lion. It is likely this piece was produced in the late 1800's. A time when United States tackle manufactures started producing superior quality fishing flies on a large scale. This lead to the end of large numbers of English Flies being imported to the U.S. Market. Happy 4th.
