I would tend to agree JP. the Bug images are also updating on the naturals page for quick and easy referance in the future.

Great photos! It is shaping up here to be a good opening weekend. Not as lucky as you to have a winter season. Shoot me an e-mail, I want to ask you a question about your fly patterns.
