I've been tying for about 6 months, learned loads from reading here and other sites. I'm certainly no Scratch or Midlander but would appreciate any comments.

I think they are mighty fine for fledgling efforts. I am fairly new to tying myself, and you have avoided the mstakes I made, in that you have not encroached on the eyes of the hooks and the heads are nice and neat.

Good work fella.

Look pretty damned good to me. I'm no cruncher expert but I would suggest that "good proportion" would likely not have the tail extend longer than a shank length.

Weight forward. I can't see your pics....I'm at 'work' at the moment though, and maybe the security set-up here is blocking them. Strange though... doesn't usually. Looking forward to having a butchers when I get home though
