Still a lot of sloppiness and mistakes. But here they are nonetheless. I ran out of materials to tie wooly bugs etc. So I just went with the flow.
As always criticism is welcomed:)

Thanks!

No complaints here. They look fishable and fine. Just beware of crowding the eye of the hook.

I think there's only one thing you should do with those flies. Send them to me immediately. I'll make the sacrifice and catch a couple dozen fish on each.
I think they look fine and "buggy". Some poor unsuspecting fish is going to think he's about ready to eat a big juicy bug just to fidn out it has a sharp point in the middle.
Nice work.

Good looking fllies, and I especially like the color choices and sparkle dubbing. I need to try those for trout. Not a criticism, but a tip, if you are having trouble crowding the eye on the lead eye wooly worm, try tying in the lead eyes first and then tie the rest of the body and whip finish behind the lead eyes.
you're alot better at feather wings than I am...lol

LOVE- that first fly, pictured! Kinda looks like a "Crackleback" on steroids!?!
Nice, looking flies and your proportions are really decent!
On your second fly, pictured, to clean out the eye of the hook, (to get the tippet through it), try heating the tip of your bodkin and poke it through that hook eye. That should clean it out well enough to allow you to tie on the tippet.
Good use of colors, too!!
Let us know the results of "The Ultimate Test".......... how the fish like them!?!
The featherwings were a pain lol. Just a pain!! Took forever to get it tied on right:)
I'm guessing I'm just tying everything too far up on the shank, which is why my eyes are always crowded. Almost everyone I tie is crowded. That last one, was terrible, had to singe the eye, like you suggested Flybinder.
Haha, thanks, I'll be making that sacrifice soon enough......I hope:)
All I wanna do is tie, tie, tie!! It's fun!!!!!!
Thanks for the compliments everyone!
