So here it is. Many times I see pictures of flies, usually nymphs or pupae of some type that the tyer has soaked in water and then lays it on his hand or puts it in the vice and says "Look how real this looks!" The fly does look real, when it's wet and out of the water, but put it back in the water and that's now how they look. I personally don't think that it matters what they look like out of the water, it's in or on the water that counts.

Rant over - thanks for readin'
