Fun stuff! Next is seeing how they act in and on the water, and what the trout think. You're on your way.

Those look very nice. Now, get out on the water and fish 'em! And please post photos if you do well. Also, welcome to Troutnut!

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

Your pictures are as good as anyone else's and your fly tying skills are going to get better and better the more you tie and also continue reading good fly tying books so you can increase your skills.

Thanks everybody for the comments ! Sure I'll fish them and tell you if the trout like them ! ;) Fly tying is a very relaxing activity, and above all you create beautiful little things... and they can catch trout as well !
