Default Salmon flies

Hi all I do intend trying some trout flies soon but I did have a go last year and maybe it was materials or mindset I was never very confident with my stuff,I have had a lot of free time lately and find I am enjoying the tying again but I have tried with salmon flies as I think practicing with bigger hooks helps with technique .These are from a week or so ago I have done more since and critique is welcome ,I have posted elsewhere as the more feedback the better.

You can leave half a dozen of the last ones on the window sill the next time you're passing.

Lovely looking fly.
