Default Some Salmon Flies

Here's some salmon flies I just tied, still fairly new to tying them so I'd appreciate some advice/feedback.

Tidy little set there.

You let the head on the first one get away from you a little I think

No 3 for me. One thing is I would cut down on the materials by about half. that by the way is just a personal thing.

Thumbs up

If you get to the PNW for Winter Steelhead fishing, bring those along. Only suggestion I'd have is shorten up the tail, the Buggers tend to be short strikers. Have to tie up a couple of number 3; great colour/material contrasts going on there.

Its the big tails that make them work Fred. Try dropping down a size instead
