Red face New kit , First flies .

Ok here goes . As some of you know I tied 3 flies as a test the water kinda thing a few weeks ago . Well on the strength of that I went and ordered a load of kit .
I got my stuff and some hooks last week and here is my flies from my first "proper go" at it .
I know there will be loads wrong with them and await advise etc ........
The main thing is box 'em or bin 'em ??????

Sorry about the pics I know they should not be laid flat as it makes them look bushy and the light don't shine through them etc.... but I aint no Scratch
