Nicely done flies and nicely photographed. They should work very well for
opportunisticly feeding trout in the relatively sterile waters where you
intend to use them.
One minor suggestion: for selective trout in relatively fertile waters (e.g.
Penns or the Henry's Fork) you should consider tying them much more
sparsely, especially the tails. Even though many of those patterns are
considered "regional", tied appropriately, they will work well almost any
where trout are present.

Howdy,

Even though my trip to Graham County, NC is 3 months away, I've been
spending a fair amount of time at the vise. While I was watching
basketball yesterday, I figured I'd get my little Optio S40 out and take
some photos so y'all can see exactly how good the macro setting is on my
camera. :-)

Some are regional flies, like:
