The Great Nymph Swap

[cctyer]

Those pic's are great Diane. Thank you for posting them. I like how you got all the flies in a short post and didn't use a ton of bandwidth. I'm sure JC likes that too!

Thanks cctyer. For those who are interested, here are the steps I took:
1. take each fly photo with dig camera (Nikon Coolpix 950) set to 300dpi while taking notes about which toetags were attached to which flies. Check notes twice!

2. open each fly pic in photoshop:
a. crop
b. image size: change to 100dpi, width 2 inches.. keep proportional
c. maybe filter: sharpen
d. copy all
e. paste to new large empty photoshop doc
f. add text below photo

3. do this for each photo

4. save (in photoshop) constantly.

5. Still in photoshop: Save for Web. Jpeg medium.


Hope this helps.

diane,

thanks for posting the nice photos.

if yer intention is to fish these flies (or even not), I'd be more than happy top replace the broken copper john. email me your mailing address at the addy in my profile and I'll get on it. how'd you break the hook?

Believe it or not, I snapped the hook when pulling off the toe tag.. that was one strong toe tag.. plasticized!

Thanks for the offer, mikey.

Defective hook? Arizona - heat fatigue?

WOW, some of the flies I received
from this swap actually work!
Have not tried 'em all yet, but soon will.

Great work everyone, hope you are having as much fun/luck as I am.
