Mouches Gaudy ou Feathers Wing Traditionnelles
Les mouches dites “Victoriennes” : Pour faire simple et se limiter à l’essentiel, on peut dire qu’il est admis que l’Irlande est le berceau des mouches à saumons “Gaudy” (feathers wing), c’est-à-dire des mouches “criardes, voyantes, flamboyantes” à ailes en plumes. C’est l’irlandais William Blacker (1814-1857) qui émigra à Londres vers 1840 et créa une boutique pour la pêche du saumon à la mouche et le montage des mouches. Son talent le rendit rapidement très populaire et sa notoriété fut à son apogée avec la publication d’un ouvrage de référence : “The Art of Fly-making”, 1855. On considère qu’il est vraisemblablement le père de l’explosion de la popularité des mouches “Saumons Feathers Wing Gaudy”. Le développement du chemin de fer a accentué la diffusion des mouches “Gaudy” a travers toute l’écosse au point de supplanter les modèles rustiques, plus anciens, en quelques années.
