East meets West

A month or so ago a fellow flyfisher and tyer from Japan, and myself did a fly swap.

He sent me a few of his favorites and I sent him a few of mine.

Well today I fished one of the fine flies from Japan on a special stream of mine.

This is the pattern from Japan,

The stream was sparkling, simply beautiful.

The little flies from the east worked well on this little stream in Connecticut.

And the little fly from here also worked well on these wild jewels.

Thank you Satoshi,

BrkTrt, Another great outing!! Can I ask what camera you use? I started taking a few photographs last year and have improved a little. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

The flies look like emergent ants, bodies from peacock herl. Nice.

Very nice, ever fish any of the streams close to the NY border near Sherman? When I drive to Conn. I take a shortcut thru Pawling And Sherman to get to New Milford and there are some pretty streams on the way I believe they hold fish.

I use an old Nikon Cool Pix 4600.

Just keep taking photos and you'll get better shots.

Post some we would enjoy looking at them.

I have fished several in western CT, but not in the last few years.

There are several WTMA class 1 streams right near the NY border.
