Tight Lines Tuesday Italian Brand
by John Etchieson
Tight Lines Tuesday Italian Brand; 96 years ago in the Spring of 1922, the author, artist, angler and hunter, William Harnden Foster, painted a wonderful scene of a fly fisherman who had crawled to the edge of the bank above the water to avoid spooking this trout that to his surprise had just taken his fly. Titled “GEE, I’VE GOT HIM”, this painting must have impressed Ed Ibbotson, President of the Horrocks & Ibbotson Tackle Company, because he subsequently purchased the art work from Foster to be used for the card label of his best imported ITALIAN brand braided silk fly line.
