Some recent ties

[mot]

This is only the second time I've posted pictures of my flies, the first time was only 2 or 3 weeks after I started tying. Having been playing around at the vice lately I thought I'd post one or two of my efforts for critique. I am genuinely interested what people think, some of these are just the result of playing about others follow patterns. Please let me know what you think!

1)Buzzer

2)DHE

3) Damsel nymph

That'll do for now, I might post some more later. Like I said constructive criticism is welcome as it will help me improve.

Cheers

Nice bit of tying, really like the buzzer

[mot]

Thanks for the comments

Boony, the tying for the buzzer is as follows

Hook: B100 (s10 in this case)
Thread: Black
Breathers: White antron yarn
Body: 1 strand black 1 strand fl green flexifloss wound on together
Thorax: 2 strands black peacock herl
Wing buds: Green goose biots

I’ve also tied them with red flexifloss and orange biots

The damsel was just cobbled together with what I had really, hence the use of pheasant tail for the beard hackle. The body is just dubbed olive marabou and the eyes are a 2 inch length of nylon blobbed with a lighter. Hook s10 B175.

Any suggestions on how to improve greatly received!

Cheers
