Alright, this is getting boring.  I know we've all been tying this winter, but nobody talks about their flies or posts pics (except for a few).  I want everybody, of all skill levels, to post their favorite/best trout fly.  If you can't take pictures that you're happy with, then tell us about the fly.  Let's make an effort to make this about "Maryland Fly Fishing" again.  Here's mine:

Thanks, but you really cant see it. I think i have dropped my camera too many times.  Anyone have a good suggestion for one they like?  However, according to Liam, you must post a fly to answer this question!

Sure, I'll do it, but I think Hugh should do it with his new camera.

Thanks.  They catch fish real good during pretty much any mayfly hatch.

Here's what I've been up to:

Some streamers:


Some bucktails (a Ken Lockwood shown):


And after being inspired by Mike Valla's book about Catskill dries, a bunch of Light Cahills:

Really great flies Bob. The bodies on those streamers are really good, and those Cahills look deadly. I gave my dad a copy of Mike Valla's book, so I think I have to steal it away for a bit.

It's probably the best book I've ever read on dry flies, period. It really renewed my interest.

Yeah, it's a Black Ghost.  It's one of the very few old feather winged streamers that you see fished much anymore.  I think it fishes slightly better with a marabou wing, but it looks better with hackle wings and jungle cock (it still fishes ok that way.)

Thanks for the kind words, guys.
