Found some baetis spinners in a small, still backwater of the Henry's Fork a couple days ago. Took a few macro shots in the actual setting, even though it doesn't look like they are on the water, and then used some photo processing software to crop and enlarge one of the pics. Thought you all might enjoy it.



The naturals would be about a size 18. Haven't thought through how I would tie an imitation, yet. A sparse CDC or gray antron wing, CDL for the tails, dark olive or gray biot abdomen, dark gray dubbed thorax, and maybe several wraps of a grizzly dry fly hackle for legs / floatation ??

Anyone else care to venture a recipe for these little guys ??
