The barbel on the local river seem to like a little pink nymph and I tied one up recently which seems to have been given the nod of approval.

Until now I have been unable to show the flies in much detail but Santa brought me a new camera as a reward for being very good last year (I was!) and so now I can take good close up photos. How exciting is that!

I am pretty much in the dark as far as operating technology goes, just ask my wife. But I have figured out how to take a good macro photo and even have a picture to prove it!

So here it is – my little pink nymph…….

Voila!

Voila!
