Most of them are good, think the klinky needs some work though Heavier wing post and try to keep the body slim and neat as it needs to sit under the surface.
Keep it up and lets see some more.
All the best, Graham

Hi Edd,

I'll have the Klink, the Shrimp, the John and the Spider; and you'd better throw in the pink Bug for good measure! Nice bit of tying my-friend!

Regards

Mostyn

A little bit of constructive criticism of otherwise good ties,

For the Klink I'd change the hook to a more curved hook and trim the loose fibres of the end of the body. to be most efective you want that body sunk and dangling off the hackle.

For the Shuttlecocks again (in my opinion) the body of the fly is a bit furry,
I usually avoid dubbing for bodies that are supposed to sink and prefer herl or silk on my shuttlecocks,

Cheers

You may find this SBS helpful for the Copper John. Be wary of proportions and when winding the wire tilt it backwards so that the last wrap guides the placement of the next. You'll get much tighter wraps. It also looks like you didn't add the epoxy to the thorax cover.

Hi Folks.

Thank you very much for the feedback, it is much apritated.

epoxy, I don't have any so must get some ( best call it a variant ), thanks for the sbs link steve.

Chris, maharg. I think with my dubbing I need to put back 3/4 of what I offer up to the thread. as for the hook I may give the a little extra bend just behind the thorax.

spenc, Fs, mostyn. If you spot something in my fly box you like help your selves
just leave me one or two, to throw about

Thanks again for your input folks.

Kind regards.
Mr edd.
