Gil Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I've been spending the afternoon playing with new adult stone fly patterns. I've been looking for photos of an adult stone fly from the fishes perspective (upside down) but haven't come across any. Wondering if someone could help me out. Much appretiated.... Quote

headscan Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 this is a shot of a bunch of males n females mating.. So you're posting a pic of a stonefly orgy? Isn't there some rule against posting pornographic pics on the forum? And from a moderator no less... Quote
jksnijders Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 After seeing the Macro's on here I had to get one.. Quote
maxwell Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 lmao i posted the prong photo.... this one should get me banned..... golden stone f*ck fest 08... the males ahve teh shortwings and do not fly.. the females are the ones we see most flying and crawling on teh water........ Quote
jksnijders Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Haven't quite mastered preservation yet, they start to hang funny after a while.. Quote
jksnijders Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Curls em up funny, makes them tough to get decent pics of. Quote
jksnijders Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 golden stone f*ck fest 08... Picked those ones up at a Golden gang bang on the Oldman.. Quote
maxwell Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 u can put them in viles with rubbing alcohol but it fades the colors.. i jsut try and snap some decent shots riverside so i can get a decent idea of color.... had a huge collextion once but had the same problem so i said enough and tossed em and started with more photos.....

jksnijders Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I had thought about using alcohol or formaldehyde, but figured it'd be a bitch to take pics then, and the color fading.. When they get really fry too they fall apart pretty easy too obviously.. Hopefully can get some decent pics next summer. Quote
maxwell Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 i hear ya dude! gotta love the bugs! its whats for dinner! and those last ones were taken on teh bow... Quote
