[QUOTE="Eagle Eye, post: 2704038, member: 34489"] Very neat! Some of your example remind me of insects I have seen flying over/near rivers. Do you try to match colors/shape/proportions based on living examples. For example, do you mimic the types of flying insect species that are found naturally in a given area of the world? Would be cool to see if fish recognize (and I bet they do) native species vs non native ones. Who knows, some fish may prefer the look of, and go after a non native insect just for the experience. Something to consider if you do move to a fly fishing hotspot, or have a trip planned. One could find pictures of specific insects and replicate them. i guesss that's the whole point of this..... :idea: Edit: And I see now that there are volumes of books out there linking certain fly types with fish types. One of these days, I will seriously pursue fishing and when that time comes, I would want to tie my own flies. Thanks for posting about this. [/QUOTE]
