Thumbs up +1 here.

Those will work! Good on Him!! Can you re-take the photos so we get a better look at the Laddies work?

No needle intended .. that's why I don't (even if I knew how) post photos. Actually true, the few I have were all e-mail attachments to another Fellow on the board who posted them up for me.

My Bad.

Lift the fly off the back ground about 6'' to a foot, take the pics with natural light or artifical light just adjust the lighting color correction of your cam don't use flash it washes the pic out.

Also use a tripod or fnd soome way to get the cam locked down and shake free.

Now over to someone else who says this is wrong

he has a low attention span for most things but has found great solace in tying flies! i am struggling here because he has a basic kit but i dont know what else he needs and he will run out before long1 if there is anyone out there that has any spare materials or help that yo can give i would much appreciate it! i generally coarse fish myself but am interested in this new fishing approach but i dont understand the rules so to speak! its probably the first time i have seen him in his life concentrate so hard and i want to keep it up all help is welcome!
