Guest Report post Posted August 11, 2003 Joe I'm not much of a saltwater man living in Cincinnati, but I love looking at saltwater flies because they are usually big, bold and beautiful. Nice picture, what kind of digital camera are you using? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest_DFix Report post Posted August 11, 2003 Joe, I'm not busting your chops; I had no idea the yellow one was from old stock. As I've often said to you, you do extremely nice work; you needn't worry about anything you do being open to extreme criticism. Nothing you've presented to date, here or elsewhere, has ever come under fire, just constructive criticism, as you've asked for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice picture, what kind of digital camera are you using? You won't believe this, but its a very reasonable priced POLAROID PDC 1300. I don't think Polaroid makes this Model any longer, I bought this about 2 years ago, and I believe i paid $189, I know now that they were discontinueing this model therefore this price. But I can do must anything that I need, so I don't require a higher priced camera. The results suits me fine, besides I'm having a lot of fun with it. What is that smilie with the J/K sign ????, I'm curious. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw this fly in some Fishing Magazine and the author recommended it for fresh water Salmon, and Lake Trout, its called the LEAF RIVER GHOST. Can you post a picture of one of your flies? maybe after seeing it I might be able to see why your, as you called it. the heads are too big Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted August 14, 2003 joe, those are some great looking flies. a friend gave me a flatwing fly to use for bass this fall, but i decided to see how it looked in the surf, and a nice size blue slammed it. i was happy to catch a fish, but the fly has seen better days. so, i'll recycle the hook, and tie up some of my own. keep those pictures coming.
