Elk hair Caddis from ‘25 archery hunt

Harvested my first bull elk in archery season and saved some hide to attempt to tie some flies. I tied 4 so far and all of them I went to close to the eye and made tying them on a huge pain in the ass. Yet to catch a fish on one. If anyone has tips on getting that hair further back from the eye please let me know. Still a novice tier so don’t tear me up too bad.

Managed to convert on a couple of risers, tough weather weekend for humans but the fish didn’t seem to mind. Saturday 5-23-26

Penns creek browns from past weekend

Sexy Walt’s worm took these two. Had a hell of a time figuring out what they wanted on top so I broke and busted out the nymph rig

Canon lenses for bird photography?

Hello! New to the group and new to wildlife photography. I recently purchased a canon rebel t5i off Facebook marketplace with a lens that I believe goes to 200mm, I’m often finding myself wishing for more distance (zoom?) when trying to photograph birds. Does anyone have any advice on a good lens to try and up my birding game? TIA!
