Title: Wing Feathers
Post by: Traditionalist on October 25, 2011, 01:25:09 PM
These are mainly digitally enhanced plates from the book by Leonard West.  You can get the original here;

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=The%20natural%20trout%20fly%20and%20its%20imitation (http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=The%20natural%20trout%20fly%20and%20its%20imitation)  The quality of the scans varies, as do the editions. As a rule, the scan with the most downloads will be the best quality. Google scans are usually useless.

I got some better plates and also managed to enhance them, so I changed the images. If you checked back and thought something was "off" it's not your eyes, they are different plates! :)
