Came across this site https://frostyfly.com/ with these realistic flies and nymphs. Has anyone used them?

Agree that the stoneflies look nice.
Speaking as one who likes to tie flies realistically, I've found through tough experimentation that flies that look great in the vise, often perform poorly in the water. Among the biggest problems with realistic flies is their tendencey to spin both in the water and in the air during casting. Another common problem is how they float or drift - many of these flies don't float well or tend to flip upside down when drifted or stripped.
Flies like these are worth a try but don't buy or tie up a bunch until you get to test fish 'em.
