Like I said before Benny, nice. But uh, someone’s been playing with their macro lens. 😉 ;D

I’ve been tying and taking a few photos of the flies 😉

Very nice flies, excellent pics. I have to confess to being a caddis junkie. MY fly boxes are packed with em. Im always on the lookout for a new pattern, thanks!

Here are a few more caddis. I’ve been working with different sized scud backs and like the way the segmentation came out on the cream colored flies.

Awesome looking flies. I was curious what the green caddis was tied with?

Those are great Benjamin.

Looks like maybe stretch tubing on that green caddis?

So, Benny, is this the kind of thing that filled that System X nymph box that you lost on my local tailwater last year? If so, now I really wish I’d found that box. 😉

[benjamin sandoval]

Darrin that box had nothing but nymphs and they were all proven fish catcher. It also had lots of nymphs from all the swaps I was host to 🙁
