1st Few Attempts

[vyizis]

I have been having a bit of a play trying to get the hang of the various techniques and getting my hands to do what my brain tells them too!

Anyway, let me know what you think

Not bad, keep it simple to start with, buzzers are simple and catch fish.
The top one would be better on a straight shanked hook but will still catch.

Nice Ones. Start simple and only expand when you feel you can tackle more complicated patterns-and never be too shy to ask for help on here as these guys know their business.

That's a good start.

The hackle on the 2nd fly is rather long if it is intended as a dry fly. Have a look here

When doing hackles, try and have the hackle fibres in length with the hook point, next give some hares ears a shot then ptns then diawl bachs, once you master thesee, move onto vivas cats etc thne i'd be giving dries and wes a shot
