Good morning! Well, just thought I'd play around and see if I could figure out how to post a picture. It worked!

David, you are too funny!!! Like I told ya, I was INSPIRED after I saw those bugs you tied and the 26,341 other flies you have around your fly tying bench. Made me think I MAY (I repeat, maaaaayyyyy) want more than just 1 topwater pattern, ha. Appreciate the very kind comments, though. This one's an experiment -- hopefully, it's actually fishable! :lol:

Nice picture Hairstacker, but you may want to resize it down to 800x600 in the future (or even smaller) for better viewing ease on a board like this.

Just a thought which may also provide site bandwidth savings for Bill too.

Regard,

Ken,

That's a great idea -- any idea how I would do that? Thanks!

Hairstacker,
Most digital cameras come with a photo editing software. You should be able to resize with that. There are also numerous freeware and shareware software to easily take on the task. Here is a list of these files you can download from shareware.com . Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

If you are wanted to put photos on the board, but do not have a place to store them, then take a look at http://www.photobucket.com/ . This is a free photo hosting website that lets you keep a photo gallary.

Yep, caught that one in a valley lake last spring on March 14th -- water was definitely off-color and was warming up (place gets blistering hot in the summer). Caught it on a #2 chartreuse/white Clouser (my favorite sub-surface bass fly), while fly casting to a boulder field in shallow water. If I recall correctly, the fish took it on the drop. At only 13", it put up a great fight! Felt like a 15" largemouth and I definitely couldn't just reel it in. Tape-measured it, took its picture, and let it go.

My mind is on steelies right now. I normally like to fish for bass with surface bugs. The marabou threw me off. Nice supn deer marabou bass bug! I also like the smallie picture, I love the red eyes. :twisted:

Hi Adam! Yeah, when I caught that thing, I was really struck by those red eyes. Especially since I had been spending so much time fly fishing for largemouths, which have dark olive eyes with black pupils. Was happy to see that the red showed up well in the picture. David Lee has taught me that smallmouths from different bodies of water can vary dramatically in their coloration. He was telling me about some that have very distinctive blue cheek marks, instead of the light olive ones you see in the above picture. Makes we wonder if their eye colors can also vary significantly.
