Hi guys,

as a keen nymph tier but dry fly tying virgin im super keen for feedback on my first efforts.

they are tied to imitate these fellas - deleatidiums i think, but fatties about size 10!



Anyhow heres the best from my first dozen, medium dun post, brown hackle, z-lon tail, a couple of variations in body materials ....

Feedback appreciated on post size, hackle length, any parachute tying tips really.....









cheers Jeremy.

Excellent work!

thanks for the feedback guys!

had a few duds before starting to get them looking o.k.

fiddliest bits for me are securing the hackle after winding and getting dubbing under/ in front of the hackle before finishing the fly. Tricky to keep hackle out of the way and not getting it trapped under thread wraps.

Badger - for sure klink style emerger in  dads favourite / deliatidium shades. I like that sunk body style as it gives that floating nymph / struggling dun trapped in the surface effect ( with a bit of luck)

Very nice! I would fish with those. They look like fish fetchers.  Jax
