Howdy,

Here are a few shots I took with my mini digicam (Pentax Optio
S40). I was impressed with how well it performed in macro mode, and
it even has a "super macro" that enable you to get extremely close
(moreso than SWMBO's Sony). These are all some flies that I was
playing around with recently, so they might not be the prettiest, but
I just wanted to test the camera. (It passed, with flying colors.)

The first is a pic of a #16 Usual. This was from the first batch
of these I ever tied (my first time working with snowshoe hare) and
I'm still working on the wing/tail proportions on these, but they look
downright buggy.

Those are some really nice pics. And you say you paid $40 for the camera?

I have to ask, "Where can I get a camera like that?!?!?!?"


And about that Lime Trude...

...I'm not sure why you would want to use CDC for the wing. The hackle and
the tail should float that fly, right?

I'm not sure of others' reasons, but I'll sometimes throw some CDC on a fly just
to give it a nice motion in the water.
