Fishing Flies Collage Sheets
If you're a mixed media artist or paper crafter looking for unique vintage imagery, these free fishing fly ephemera printables are a creative treasure trove. Originally sourced from an antique book about fly fishing from the late 1800s, each illustration captures the intricate craftsmanship of hand-tied flies used in early angling during that time period. These types of illustrations are ideal for adding masculine or nature-inspired flair to your junk journals, art journals, and scrapbook layouts.
Whether you're building out a nature-themed journal or simply looking for striking focal points for your next collage spread, these vintage fly fishing graphics offer rich visual detail and plenty of character. The bold colors, textured lines, and antique style blend beautifully with tea-stained papers, old book pages, kraft cardstock, and botanical prints. Try layering them with old maps, antique postcards, or vintage labels for a timeless mixed-media effect.
2” x 3” Journal Cards
In junk journaling, printables like these can be used in dozens of ways — cut them out as ephemera pieces, use them in pockets or tuck spots, or even turn them into journal cards or tags. If you're working in an art journal, try using one of these flies as the centerpiece of a spread focused on themes like patience, wilderness, or tradition. Scrapbookers might enjoy using these as embellishments in memory pages tied to fishing trips, cabin vacations, or family stories.
Each sheet is ready to print at home, making it easy to incorporate high-quality vintage illustrations into your paper craft projects without the hassle of sourcing expensive originals. These images are also great for decoupage, altered books, and ATCs (Artist Trading Cards).
