Perhaps pick out a few flies that you know your grandfather personally tied. Preferably ones that are fashioned after a known 'named' pattern - and mount them nicely on a piece of cork in a shadow-box frame. Thin, half-round slices of wine-bottle corks glued to the back-board work well for mounts. Write the name of the fly pattern under each one, and your grand-dads name birth/death dates at the bottom - in pencil. It's a meaningful, respectful display that you'll be proud of.
