Like virtually all of your flies, Wayne, these look like "catchers". I especially like that red chronomid (sp?) -- the first one. That seems to be a staple on most tailwaters.

Great looking generic tiny's.
The red Chrono could pass muster as a blood worm. All look like trout food and probably a truer facsimile of actual size than most I tie.
Good work. ;)

2 feet of snow and I still went fishing. Got stuck at the River and took me two hours to dig out . This river is notorious for having 10 to 20 lb trout (wild spawn). I had it to myself. Sight fishing, for me, is the best way to catch big fish. Blind casting normally results in small fish. The wind cranked up the second I had my rod rigged up. Sight fishing was out of the question. The wind made it impossible to spot fish when it gusted. It layed down for a few seconds at a time, but not long enough for me to scan the water. I caught a few of these in the 30 minutes I fished. I had to hurry back to the truck as snow started to drift on the road leading out of the river area.

The flies I tyed yesterday did well.

Whoa! The color on those trout is so rich. Do you think this is from the environment, or the food they eat? It may be a combination of the two.

That last photo should be a magazine cover. Perfection.

Although I would copy write the last photograph and sell it to Loop for advertising purposes. ;)
