Been a while since Ibe tied a wooly bugger so I figured why not? Haha I tied in an orange Hotspot to double as a egg sucking leech as well instead of a bead head to give it a more natural look

Nice one Rogue. I've been doing up a few in smaller sizes recently. Seems no matter how I tie them or the colors I choose they always produce. Always a pleasure to tie.

I'm just now starting yo fill the box for this winter. I do plan on doing multiple colors to mess with the fish and see what works best. Thanks again for the kind words Chuck.

Me thinks you're getting ready to cheat! Put a minnow on that hook so it looks like a shrimp is attacking it. What fish could resist a shrimp/fry combo meal?

Man the photos are GREAT on many of these flies. Some of you must have a small fortune tied up in photography equipment! Very well done indeed!!!

like so many things, it's not how expensive the gear, it's how you use it LOL ! Most of today's digital point and shoot cameras with a macro function on them are pretty darned good, it's how you use light that really matters and how you stabilize the camera.. It's nice to have an SLR with true macro lens of course but for web posting you really don't need it. The larger sensor in them is more suited to larger print enlargement than low pixel count web photos.

 

Have to agree. In another life I shot Hassy, Canon and Sinar. I am now using a point and shoot that cost me $35 used off of Ebay.

I have all sorts of light banks and powerful studio flashes. Instead I am using a couple of desk lamps with CFL bulbs and a plastic cup as a "light tent",

along with coraplast, plastic mirrors and foam core.

I do use a camera stand that is out of most individuals reach but a simple tripod would do.

One of the biggest things that helps my photography is a remote shutter release (camera shake).

The same principles that I use for portraiture I use for my flies.

If you would really like to get into some really simple but elegant table top setups lookup Dean Collins. This guy is my hero!

Mamiya TLR's, then RB 67 here, Kimo . Then came digital and it's all history.

Like the idea of this for low water salmon as well as sea trout.

Hasselblad came out with a digital back for the 500 Series making all of my "old" equipment pertinent again.

It will even work on my Sinar.

 

Now if I could get a pair of "Plug and Play" of knees.

Yes, will try it out for salmon as well, but had seatrout in mind when I made it
