My First Atlantic Salmon Fly

[bassman]

I just finished tying my first attempt at an Atlantic Salmon Fly, I call it the Rosemary. What I would like is some critique and criticism and tell me what you think. The Doctor Blue Floss is hard to see in the Photo, my camera is not the best for this.

Below is my second try. I changed to French Oval Tinsel for this one. And made it with just 2 segments in the body. I also worked on the head to try and make it smaller and smother. John
