Beautiful fly John. A classic for sure!

PS - I fixed the link you included. Lovely set of flies.

I agree, beautiful....

Ok Ray, how did you fix the link? I was messing around with it and couldnt figure it out? No big surprise there, but inquiring minds want to know.

John's HTML formatting codes were in the wrong location. Each line needs to begin and end with the same HTML command. If you hit edit and look at the text, you will see what I mean.

John, If you want to drop the line of code with your photo, on Photo Bucket, use the 5th link down on their choices. It has the title "IMG Code". I reposted your cream flymph without the code line.

I imagine the fish will not be turning this one down!

Thanks for the kind comments and the technical help. Is there a way to post a fly without including a link to photobucket? Some of those flies weren't ready for prime time.

Nice looking plump wee fly John, I like it.

Flies not ready for primetime? I did not look, but if at the time you were proud enough of your tyings to photograph them, they are honest fishing flies that you would use- then no need to hide them away. We cannot all be world class, but if they work and are an example of what you like to tie and fish- there is no way they will be knocked around here.

Thanks for the kind words. I don't know if it was pride that made me photograph the other flies. More like I was just practicing with the camera and with using photobucket. I have noticed that there is nothing like posting a photo to make the flaws in my flies stand out, at least to me. So it is all a learning experience.
