Default A few of my first attempts!

Now in my third week tying and found some time last weekend to watch a few on line tutorials, and I a had a go at some buzzers and pheasant tail emergers.
Hopefully I'll get a few tips on the mistakes!

Your wee buzzers are crackers mate! Try nipping your marabou with your fingers instead of cutting it with your scissors,good ties though

Nice flies there mate. Not going to offer any advice though as I'm a newbie to tying too.
