I learned a few things on this attempt at posting pics. If I am going to photograph inside, I am going to need more and better lighting. Grey backgrounds don't work well with Grey flys.
With a little more practice (playing) I am sure it will start to come around.
Here is a pic of another fly that I didnt like the way I tyed off the head, but I believe the picture is much better.
This fly came about as a joint venture with my fishing buddy and friend Bob S. We wanted a small, slim, very light Olive Baetis emerger, and through trial and error this is what we came up with. It's name comes from a pool on the Roaring Fork River that we nick named the "Plunge". It was at this pool a few years back that this little fly really came into it's own. Thus the name, "Plunge Emerger".
