I just figured out that my digital camera has a macro setting and started playing around with it.  Here are a few pics of some flies I tied:
1)Eztaz Egg
2)Cased Caddis
3)BH Poxyback Hare's Ear
4)Kauffman Hare's Ear
5)Nuclear Scud
6)Ugly Bug Golden Stone
7)Some streamers
8)Elk Hair Hopper
enjoy
Chuck

Those look like some fish catchers.  What did you use on the rainbow trout streamer?  It looks zonker-like.

that one is a clouser clone tied with EP fiber and a little pink eztaz wrapped around the hook shank.

Have you ever used Kraft fur for the clousers? Moves nicely.

I have not tried EP fibers on that. My buddy likes them for indicators, though.

I have not tried kraft fur but I have read it is a good material. The EP is a little soft for clousers in my opinion but it looks cool. I use EP for indicators as well it works good and is very bright.

Nice bugs Chuck.  I especially like the reverse cased caddis.  Case builders are some of my favorite patterns to tie and fish.  I'm however having a hard time getting into the craft fur.  I should spend some more time with it I guess.  Good news is it's pretty cheap and comes in a big ol chunk.

Chuck,

Nice looking flies. Really liked the FCC you posted in another thread. I've had great success using variations of that pattern.

Sweet looking bugs.  You have the details on the varigated chenille you used on that rubber leg stone fly?  I've been trying to get my hands on some similar chenille and I cant find any.  Thanks in advance.

yo Matt
I got the chenille at Kiene's in Sac. They have it in a bunch of different color combos.
