[Rob Blomquist]

Sorry about the picture quality. I'll play with my camera a bit more after I make a mount for it at the bench. Next time hopefully they'll be better quality.

The flies are on the way back Tight Loops.

Regards,

Chris

Tight Loops,

Those are some beautiful flies. Wish I had some to share but just getting into summer fishing.

Thanks for sharing.
