Harold Ray 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 Graham, That red-ear looks great, and the shell did turn out well, more more like the real thing now. The photos are super, very creative; I don't think I would have ever thought of that! How's the background on the shadowbox you sent me the other night coming?

SullyTM 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 Outstanding Graham. Your photos really make the turtle jump off the screen. You have tied one heck of a fly! Like I said before...you need to produce a book, DVD, something before you retire to the country Later...Thom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 Hi Ray, I'm glad you like the turtle, thank you. I took a series of out of focus full screen background shots today, took a number of different colors, and tonight I'll figure out which color best suits tha shadowbox background. Hey Thom, thank you! I don't need to make a DVD, I'll just keep posting info here. Besides, I wouldnt have time until I retire to the country, and even then, I would realize, from attending fly shows, that the market for realistic tying info is extemely limited, when compared to other topics. I still need to take a sharp un-cropped macro pic of my turtle before it goes into my display case. Cheers, Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronn Lucas 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 That is one of the coolest realistics I've seen. May not be the most complicated or detailed but is really a cute little feller. :headbang: :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vickie Eagle Elk 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2007 Graham Thanks I've only tied one realistic so far..a spider It might be considered a fishable realistic, I'm not sure One of the guys I sent one to caught an 18" brown trout on it I'll find the pic and post it when I get time... Right now I'm participating in the Classic Salmon Seminar. Very impressive, your first Salmon fly body! Have you finished it yet? Thanks again VEE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
