Default A few flies

Due to health problems I don't get fishing that often so I thought I'd try tying, My biggest hurdle is that I only have one arm, I've overcome most of the problems (still struggling with head hackles) and my tyings are at least starting to look like flies, anyway here's a few of my flies, all coments or advise wecome.

Cheers Craig

Truly inspirational, how is even possible to tie a tail on with only one arm?

That aside absolute love tyings.

Well Done Craig fantastic looking flys
