Looks like you are on the right track. Are you using a scanner?

Actually an iPad with a macro lens. Then lots of photo editing help from a friend in Michigan.

Dang! You shot a size 22 with an iPad? Nice!

That is a great looking fly. I'd fish that with confidence.

Very nice! Has all the right components and looks very buggy.

I don't know which is more amazing...the size 22 fly or the fact that you photographed it with an iPad.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
