i can copy art work, never tried much of my own, but i cut and polish gem stones and gemstone coconuts for a living, so im surounded by natural art all the time. ill take some pix of my geodes tomorow all i got is this from king crimson album. i drew onenight whilst i was rolling nepalese temple ball and doing a line of speed. as you can see, i didnt know much about the hardness of pencils at the time, shame as i think its brilliant likeness

" Super Fly (s)" ........foam is a great touch. Its a blast getting ripped and tying those things . I liked making whimsical, crazy looking flies too. It has been a while. You revived my interest.
Ive got a nymph a made using a shuttle weave, it's two colours of floss woven so the back is olive yellow and the underside a creamy yellow colour, I'm particularly pleased of that one.

Beauties....the bottom pic reminds me of a guy who used the flexy part of a flexy straw for an insects segmented body , looked very life-like. There's a real art to tying well.

Aw this is cool man, I’m partial to fishing our waters too, not so much fly fishing though, I have fished for browns and grayling with a spinning rod with both bait and lures. In the winter you can usually find me balls deep in chocolate coloured sea water, freelining peeler crab and huge parcels of mussel in and out of gulleys for cod! Do you fish rivers and streams or lakes? Or both?

I fish both lochs and rivers for brown trout, rainbow trout, sea trout and salmon, I also use bait and spinner, the rod I use depends on the water conditions, I enjoy all the methods in the right conditions.

Sea trout fishing through the night in particular is awesome.

Flies and photo's. Man I loved living that life.

Now I'm admiring how this pathetic art got in my pocket and stole a dollar from me. I'll take the loss and mount it for posterity and appreciation.
