Show some of your own hand tied flies.

I'm not sure if this has already been done but I thought I would give this thread a go. I'm just a beginner and only have been tying my own flies for about a year and a half, so there is much to explore and learn. Here are a few pictures of me at the vise and the results. I have attempted a Pale Morning Dun dry fly and a Mahogany Mayfly Nymph in these photos. Please share some of your own hand tied flies.

Very nice indeed ☺

There's such an amount of work and skill that goes into these tiny wee scraps of fishy temptation

If anyone this side of the pond wants natural fibres, I have naturally dyed fleece as well as a huge assortment of natural fibres. Everything from goat hair to silk.
Happy to put some in an envelope if required.

I love tying flies. Haven’t done any for a long time now, nor any fishing for that matter but I’m rather partial to a bit of evening dry fly and stealthy nymphing on quiet secluded lakes.
I’ve been wanting to tie again and plan on doing some north country spiders and a bit of small stream fishing in the Peak District

ETA: flies looking good! I like the look of both, great natural look

I've tied a handful of spiders/soft hackle wet flies and I do like that style of fly very much. I would love to see some of your work, underground, if you are so inclined to post some pictures of them.

I tie very simple flies, mostly scuds or grub types, they seem to catch well enough! not very lifelike, though!

ejtrent, beautiful trout and grayling in your pictures. I tie a similar streamer to the one you picture a couple of different variations of a fly known as a Golden Retriever. Thank you for sharing your photos.
