Could you show that micro with something relative? Like a penny maybe?
I've got some very small hooks but it seems the quality is lower on the
smaller hooks...

Also any tips for those wanting to photograph flys closeup using cheaper non
lens type digital cameras?
I was thinking maybe some magnifying glass in front that is clear etc..

Here're two photos that took some taking:

....if anybody's interested in how to take photos this close, I put a
closeup ring on a
Nikon D70 and then mounted that to a PB6 Bellows, extended the bellows
as far out as it
would go, and then mounted a 105 macro lense, set to F32 with a three
second exposure, inside
a light tent.

Too bad you can't do that with waders on.
The Micro Trico is a minor miracle. I haven't found out who tied it
yet
(it's a borrowed fly). But it looks to me like it must have been tied
under a microscope.
This fly is so small it's hard to see in the palm of your hand.
