Default A guide to help

Hey all,

Had an idea for this, though it will probably flop.

Idea is to post a picture of a fly, followed by the nymph/fly/whatever it imitates. To help mainly beginners but I'm sure every one will pick up ideas if people get involved.

So I'll start...

Hope others take part - Thanks
