The buzzer looks a very neat job. Might tie up a couple of those and give them a go.

Not sure about the Dabbler. I've never fished or tied one so I'll leave somebody else to comment.

As a matter of interest, have you used varnish, epoxy or bug bond?

It is Hard as Nails varnish, i have been trying bug bond well the cheaper type but not really sold on it, i think i will stick with hard as nails

very nice ties
i like my cheeks on my buzzers to come frome underneath and sit at an angle but thats just my preference.
your dabbler is good it just need thinned out a bit. the tail a body hackle are a bit thick for my liking. the head is pretty much the same just tidy it up a bit.
all in all very good flies definit fish catchers

Defo fishable and not bad for a first time effort, try and neaten the tail up a tad by rolling it in yer fingers or lining the fibres up
