Some Fly ! This never did !

For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Gone Fishing'.

 

I thought twice about submitting anything this week.

 

So we have tins of sardines in the store cupboard !

This week we weren't going to the 'local' market for fresh fish !

I could have made lots of paper fish - thought this might be a good idea !!

The only fishing tackle I had in the house was a bit of nylon line !

Brainwave - my next door neighbour used to fish .......... !

 

Returned from a visit to Roy with a selection of reel, hooks, lines, sinkers, and two small boxes of flies !

The flies looked incredibly small to me - well they are fly size after all! And with such a choice it was difficult to chose just one. As long as I could pick it up it didn't really matter which.

 

So, this happens to be the first picture of the first selected fly.

 

Lit with one lamp and the fly on a white tile I rescued from my store. The lens lives on my camera and the result I got ............

 

Pentax Auto 110 70mm ................................................. less than 2 inches
