I'm not keeping fish out for a long time, but warm water fish just seem way more durable, so I'm more willing to take a second to get things focused prior to snapping the pic. With wild trout, I feel like I'm operating on a short time window, so I just snap the pic quick, and some times, perhaps I dont get as good a shot... Still strongly considering some sort of "real" cam to improve photo's though... <br />Be well<br />WillHibernationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209232417170426487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945127047500942430.post-56919787591218729232017-03-02T06:07:53.447-08:002017-03-02T06:07:53.447-08:00Hi Mel - thanks for the kind words!

When I try again, I'm going to invert them, and add a keel weight, or keep them as is but use a heavier wire hook. Stripped at certain speeds the tail unfolded and the fly stayed pretty straight. But at slow speeds it did almost a 180 - the tail rotated the fly. The fish didnt care, but, I think keeling the fly better is needed given the torque the tail creates. They caught and looked great, just another step to make it swim straighter.<br /><br />Keep well<br />WillHibernationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209232417170426487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945127047500942430.post-21916737730679357552017-03-02T04:25:45.263-08:002017-03-02T04:25:45.263-08:00Will I have all of you in my thoughts.
