Just got a DSLR, so I thought I'd share some ties for constructive criticism!

Caddis Pupa


Royal Wulff


Stimulator

I felt that way until a year or so ago. The patience is still difficult, but the skill is probably there already.

Nice ties sender. Very nice.

Tail on wulff, when you tie in go easy near the end (hook bend) they won't flair as much. Also shorten slightly.
Tail on stimulator could be about half that amount.
Did you mean caddis larva or pupa, pupa usually should show some wing buds on side.

-Thanks for the tip on the Wluff. Makes perfect sense

-That was the first stimulator I tied so I was still trying to get the proportions right, but I do agree.

-I do mean larva, my bad.

Hackle, tail and wing on the Wulff seem a bit long, otherwise nice ties.
