Nice set of critters there...foam on suspender buzzer might be a tad too big.

Been tying for close to a year now but all my gear went away for about 3 months while I was giving sea fishing a bit of a hamering turns out it was time wasted the sea around the north east is pretty empty now I think.

Did think the line was a bit thick on the emerger, but liked the idea of its stiffness keeping it off the tippet, could cut the foam down by about 1/2, will have to do some testing when the weather picks up a bit (about 5C)

I am quite amused by my own tying and it is nothing of the quality up there. The thing is I have tied some great looking flies .............. but they look nothing like the one I am copying on youtube or step by step!
