Glad it's your camera and not my eyes. Brandon, doesn't your camera have a Macro setting? Macro allows for close up focusing.

Ok, here is one i just came up with while tying free style. It isn't anything new or extraordinary, it certainly isn't a difficult tie. I just wanted to tie up something while not looking over a recipe in a book. I was trying to come up with something that perhaps a carp might like. No laughing....
It did have legs at one point, but.... in the process of cutting them down to size they kept getting smaller and smaller while trying to make them all uniform. :doh:

Nice, 
you should stick a soft hackle in front of that bead, just a suggestion.

hey randy, would you happen to know of a good substitute for seal? the closest thing i can find is hareline sts trilobal dubbing and im not sure it's a good one or not since ive never really had seal before.

Recent ties by Karen and I. The fuzzy grizzly bear cattapilers arent something trout will eat, but they will hit them and reject them.

nice ties you guys! randy, that chironomid looks great! i like the thread for wing buds idea, looks a lot easier then tying in brown biots.

Very interesting randy, did you put that bead on backwards?? I like the look it gives to the pattern Those Ice Cream cones work well on some other fish as well and on river, sometime, just don't tell any one. Is your last name Chan by any chance :lol:

And there is Spirit River 'Pseudo-Seal' - here is a fly tied with it. The pattern is Harry Lemire's Golden Edge Orange. Homewaters in Eugene carries Pseudo-Seal.
