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

Hi Bruce,
I use a nikon D70s ( an old DSLR Nikon ) and a 60mm macro lens. The background is blue or white paper.
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.
It’s a great fly here in my area and I’m glad that it works there
cheers
