No, it is a simple sponge spider I tied up at home. The nymph is also something I tie myself.

I was asking about the rod, not the fly.

WOW! Those are some impressive looking gills. Looks like no one has been hitting that pond hard. Those guys have been around for a while.

Those are some monsters - probably put up a nice fight, too. How fun!
