Hi,
Some interesting flies tied by Dave Hughes - the author of "Wet Flies". These flies are quite small. I believe they are size 16 at the biggest!
I think they look quite interesting.

That book is one of the best ones around on tying wet flies in my opinion.

I agree with Dave. It's one of the best.

I'm not a wet fly guy, but those flies look more like 'flymphs' and like the flies of Jim Leisenring, then wets. Just sayin.

They look like Wet Flies to me. Substitute the collar for Partridge, and I would guess even Nemes would have been proud.
They look pretty dry from here. Just sayin....
Cool flies!
The Green Hornet strikes again!!!
Flymphs are Wet Flies , more specifically Wingless Wet Flies. I can see the resemblence to Hidy Thorax Flymphs or a plain Flymph in the flies Dave Hughes tied. The flies in the photo appear to be closer to Short Hackle Nymphs that Skues and Leisenring were using in the early 1900's with the obvious substitution of a fur hackle collar.
Neat stuff
Here Here ! Well said Jim !
