Fun as it is poking fun at the excesses of the modern artist (and I may yet do a tribute to Warhol), this is a tribute thread, and I want to post an actual tribute to an artist I have admired. Lee Wulff was a fisherman and designer of dry flies. Two of his designs - the one I present below and the Black Wulff - caught me perhaps 60% of the fish I have ever hauled in on a fly rod. A fishing fly is a visual art form that must appeal to two audiences: people and fish (and I know that man and fish can coexist).
