Stig, everyone's sh!t at winged wets... until you've tied a few thousand of them! That's a fine effort. As a fishing fly there's nowt wrong with that at all. If I had one very minor quible it would be that the body is ever so slightly fat. Boorod is probably 'technically' correct about the wing being a tiny bit small, but that is pretty much personal taste. I think I would have tied it on the small side too to be honest... I think a larger splash of white would have unbalanced the feel of the fly for me.

I think that looks no bad Bert and as said the wing could be slightly larger but that can be down to preference.A they say Rome wasn't built in a day keep at it.
Now is that wing nice and straight along the hook shank
