They look good they all work. I tie my own up as well and nothing beets the feeling of hooken up on your own fly. I like a little chartreuse in my greens. Where did you get those cone tips?

I think they look great! I'm a tying freak so it's nice to see a post like this... One suggestion is "less is more". On a single color fly I try not to use more than 5", maybe 6" of Mylar. I think you get a better profile that way. Try mixing your colors and you'll get some neat custom colors. Best, mark

Ps. One of my favorite colors. From the outside; 1" yellow mirage, 1 1/2" blue-green, 1 1/2" hammer green, 1" red....

I just started tying this past winter and have been catching them this year on the flies I tied. It's very satisfying. Most of the manufactures like Big Weenie etc sell the materials online. Biggest one caught this weekend was on one my own. Makes you feel good.

Keep tyeing, you will love the results. If you have kids let them select some colors. I was able to create some great flies that way. Been tyeing my own for ten years. Have a great selection of custom colors and do great with them. The only store bought flies I have were won at raffles. Like said above, it is a good feeling to catch a fish on something you made.

Good luck and great fishing.
