Description:
Trout fly bunyan bug made by Meams, the same as used in the movie "A River Runs Through It." Like many urban ledgends, there is some truth to at least parts of all of them. The fly supposedly was suggested by Norman Maclean (who wrote the book) and created by Norman Edward Lee Means, both men of Missoula, Montana. Or it could have been vise-versa. At any rate most will agree the Bunyan Bug was designed to imitate the Salmon Fly, a very popular hatch. Bigger was better. The first Bunyan Bugs appeared in about 1929, and were all hand painted. Later, production models were made with a decal (fine tissue) which was lacquered in place making the paper disappear, leaving just the image. These flies were tied with the only materials available. Long before the advent of 'modern' tying materials, they were created and improved upon at a far slower pace than todays modern counterparts; limited by materials available and the tiers imagination. Once long gone, there existed a 'fraternity' of anglers who felt an obligation to use only the 'standard' patterns of the day. We hope to bring a bit of nostalgia to these pages and to you. And sometimes what you find here will not always be about fishing. Perhaps you will enjoy them. Perhaps you will fish the flies. Perhaps?
