First Time posting fly pics

[mcwillja]

Hello everyone. I am a relatively new member and I recently posted some fish pics, now I got a new waterproof digital camera and I wanted to try and post some fly pics of some BWO's I recently tied. I've had trouble taking pics of flies before and wanted to give it another shot. All critiques are welcome. I'm a relatively new tyer as well.

Thanks Alpa - I tied some cripples and comparaduns for dries also. I didn't want to post too many at one time.

Awesome looking flies. I can tell you put a lot of effort into them.

CDC comparaduns?

Mostly comparadun deer hair. A few CDC also. I like to use CDC on my rabbit foots emergers pictured above as a collar.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the comparaduns yet, I wasn't sure how any of the pics would turn out, so I didn't want to post very many.

Very nice flies!! You are doing a good job. Try to be consistant fly #1 should look like #21. Keep up the good work.

Ok - here is the CDC comparadun with biot body and antron shuck. I call it a sparkle dun. Also a pic of a cripple I've been working on.

Jason,

Here is a tip, use a flat colored backgtound behind your fly to make the fly stand out. As they are they are difficult to see and get lost in the background. You can use a an old manilla envelops with a piece of card stock in it or a piece os cloth draped over a box. Hope this helps.

Thanks Maurice. I will try that.
