  1.  HI Lucian. What kind of setup do you use to photograph your flies? Another nice tie.

  2. Hi Bruce,
    I use  a nikon D70s ( an old DSLR Nikon ) and a 60mm macro lens.  The background is  blue or white paper.

  3. Hi Lucian,
    I tied the version of your caddis pupa with chamois leather for the body & no tungsten bead so it fishes higher in the water, caught three fish in as many casts the other evening, fantastic fly.
