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. :-)

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for the pics. At a casual glance I suspect the Secret Weapon and
the Yellow Soft Hackle pattern might be "sneaky" effective. (allowing for
variations of colors) And probably as a dropper. But I haven't fished that
part of the US in many years.
Have fun.
BestWishes,

(an aside, I'd use a little sparser hackle for the the right coast guys. I
use heavier sometimes for the Rocky Mountain areas. But I catch most of my
fishes with sometimes a sparser hackle)
