I can tell you they look a heck of a lot better than my first flies. Its surprising how some of my super ugly flies caught fish. I'm not an expert so I won't critique your flies. All I can say is keep at it and try your flies out. It's a great feeling catching a fish on a fly you tied yourself.

Nice ties, welcome to the hobby soon to be obsession.

x2 my first flies turned out horrible...... great job, there's a certain satisfaction when you catch a fish on a fly tied by yourself.
