Default First Mayfly

Had a go at tying my first 'proper' fly this afternoon. [That didnt just involve wrapping thread and three cdc feather to a size 20 hook.] I was well chuffed with the result.
First one sunk in the sink.

These are the next three I tied. Each one took about half an hour! But it got a little easier each time. Hope they catch on the Wharfe!

I like those long green things on yours Toxic. What are they? What size hooks are they?

That reversed one looks a bit complicated for me yet. But I'd like to give both of yours a go in the future.

I like yours too Arkle.
