Framed 'Match the Hatch' fly plate collection, tied by Steve Thornton.

Steve Thornton is a professional photographer, flytyer and fly fisherman who travels the world on photographic assignments for international magazines with a travel rod and reel stowed within his camera bags. Steve Thornton is known throughout the world for his photography and flytying skills. He demonstrates his original style of realistic flytying at some of the biggest and most prestigious fly fishing shows throughout America and Europe.

 

The patterns mounted in these frames are designed and tied by Steve Thornton and have been published in many international Flytying magazines. Each frame bears his signature and a signed certificate of authenticity has been mounted into the rear of the frame. Steve’s Match the Hatch style of flytying is unique and so far been unobtainable. Steve has never sold his flies commercially and the intricate detail that can be seen on these patterns is just fantastic. We believe that the realistic prices of this collection are within everyone’s budget and will also make great gifts for all occasions. 

 

The framing is to the highest standards and are all shadow mounted for ultimate presentation. The frames are solid wood not plastic and are finished in a beautiful marbled gold, a colour that hangs well on any wall. The frame size is 11’ x 10’ inches or 28 x 25 cm. Please allow 10 days for delivery. Multiple frame orders receive a discounted shipping price.

The Ammonite Collection       

Steve designed the Ammonite Nymph as a generic pattern seven years ago, and was first published in the UK’s Flytying & Flyfishing magazine. Since then it has become known as Steve Thornton’s signature fly and is a great fish catching pattern throughout the world.  Steve has tied five Ammonites in his favourite Match the Hatch colours. Again, beautifully tied and presented.
