 My grandfather used to tie flies to supplement his income during the depression. When I was old enough he taught me. It is almost a lost art. He has been gone now for over 25 years but I still enjoy the creativity and detail required to bring thread and feathers to life.

I'm not sure if this will be considered odd but it is certainly unique.

crop, levels, curves, contrast, unsharpen mask, size, save for web.

cool 'fly' - i wish the cropping was either tighter or a bit wider so that more of the hand tied fly was visible, or wider so the wing tips were not cut off - also, the angle of the shot does not help - the reflection of the wings really is distracting

Wow you've got a lot of skill! That would fool me if I was a fish looking for something to eat.
