Not my usual sort of shots. Something seems off that I can't quite put my finger on.

Neat subject! The first one it took me a minute to figure out it was a lure lol
I think it's too blue, warm it up and the colours become more true and pop. I took the liberty to do a super quick edit, hope you don't mind! I just pulled the blue channel down a bit.

Youre right pixel, everything is WAY too blue. Not sure what went wrong here or why I couldnt pin it. And my photos are always editable

Other than the blue, which can be fixed quickly, anyone care to pick a best of the three? I'm currently in a fly fishing photo challenge. I'm leaning to the last one.

For a fly fishing challenge the last one works best for me. In fact it was when I saw the last one I knew what I was looking at right away.

I like the last one. The bit of cork adds just one more bit of fly-fishing 'kit' to help anchor the shot.

Thanks for the input. Just as an update, the contest was for Orvis. We had to do 20 fly fishing themed photos in a month. I actually made the final 10, but the picture they selected honestly wasnt that good. Didnt end up winning any prizes.

Biggest problem is that that fly isn't in the water.

But seriously, I would say, aside from the blue, the fly seems just a little head-on for me. Turn it just a little more to the side.
