Sweet! ;)
Well executed, nice form and colour selection, very well photographed and presented.

Can you give some details as to materials and methods?

Great looking flies! I especially like the second one 8-) and the March Brown looks tied for our local waters.

Artur, you're going enjoy this group very much. Nice solid fishing flies and I'll be curious to hear which are your favorites. and why. Thanks so much for posting these. There is a solid core of Tenkara folks, glass guys and all things soft-hackles.

Very nice collection of styles of differing materials. Welcome aboard and I will look forward to seeing more patterns and your participation in the discussions.

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE - Arthur - I hope you do not mind that I have moved the recipes for the individual patterns to the initial post, so that they appear along with each photo. I've also numbered the flies, to make it easier to reference in later posts.

A great range of patterns, all of which I would fish with confidence that the trout will find them as attractive as I do. I'm particularly fond of the first Tenkara fly shown -- to my admittedly unpracticed eye it looks extremely "buggy". Your work is a welcome addition to the forum, Artur.
