Duff, that is nicely done. What lens and settings did you use?

Thanks, guys. I've been downloading some photos from my now worthless Photobucket album to my iPad and found that old photo. PYochim, as I remember, that photo was taken with a little point and shoot Olympus Tough on the macro setting. I used that background because the colors matched the reel so well - found the tree fungus growing in the woods behind my house and thought it was particularly beautiful. Actually, I never knew that amadou was made from it until Masatoshi Okui told me after I had sent him the photo. After probably 40 year of looking at those expensive amadou patches in the Dan Bailey catalog, I finally bought one and they truly are great for drying flies.

Hi Duff,
By any chance, would you consider selling or trading this Kineya reel?
Let me know.

A friend in Romania gave me a few amadou fly dryers he made up at home, when I was visiting. In my wife's native Hungary, you can find hats and all sorts of things made of amadou. Regardless, great picture, as always.
