Realistic and Artistic Fly Tying by Graham Owen I enjoy creating artistic and realistic insects, many of which are not designed for fishing purposes, instead, simply enjoying the challenge of imitating bugs and striving to make them look as alive as possible. Some of these flies have been acquired by collectors for display, others used for product advertisements, movie and TV props, and some presented as gifts. My flies are featured in the July 2008 issue of Field & Stream magazine A pair of realistic Fireflies Realistic honey bee on my finger, with hook removed Realistic scorpion and a realistic bee Another realistic scorpion, hunting a realistic bee Tying another bee Hexagenia Limbata Realistic Houseflies A pair of realistic Hex mayflies - few more photos Realistic Neon Skimmer Dragonfly - Click here for more photos Baby Red Eared Turtle First try tying a Salmon fly Camel Spider tied for a friend Sea Horse Realistic Scorpion - click for a couple more pictures Artistic Dragonfly Realistic Grasshopper Realistic Mayfly Adult Caddis fly Adult October Caddis Fly Cased Caddis Red Hardy Spider - This spider used in advertisement A colorful dragonfly Link to - More Realistic Dragonflies Realistic Midge, a very small fly Dragonfly Nymph Emerging Dragonfly Realistic Adult Mayfly Realistic Hellgrammite Realistic Wasp Another Wasp Golden Stonefly Nymph, an effective realistic fishing fly Realistic adult Golden Stoneflies, good fishing flies A pair of dragonflies about to share a bug lunch Realistic Red Salamander More Spider Pictures A pair of realistic Tadpoles More realistic bees FilmFlies.com - Acquire Realistic Bugs Tying Fishing Flies Nature Photography My Guest book
