Use this thread to share photos of your favorite tying patterns.
This will be of particular fun to see examples from those that are beginning to learn.

The following are examples of a Wooly Bugger version know as the STS (Steelhead Trout and Salmon). The fly is tied denser than a WB with a collar which most often includes some marabou from the base of the hackle. STS with a black hackle.  STS with a brown hackle.  STS with a cinnamon hackle.  STS in pink I call the PDP, or "Port Dalhousie Princess". This colour combination was chosen to attract rainbows.  The Miramichi Smelt is the pattern Joe Montgomery provided tying instructions for January 14th. Colours can be adjusted to represent local prey fish.  January 21st Joe was instructing on tying the muddler minnow. Learn the technique and you can try any spun deer hair fly. My first attempt resulted in a chunky mousie pattern.  |

Some attempts at learning new patterns. The March Nymph, with substitutes such as strands of brown "darning" yarn instead of brown floss for the ribbing and a hackle feather for the legs. The body was lambs wool dubbing, a bit coarse and heavy for size 10 hooks.  The Hoolet Sedge is an old pattern. I used current supplies, a darker yarn for the body and peacock herl in place of bronze ostrich herl for ribbing. Using the recipe materials would have provided more contrast with the wings from a fishes view. Note the antennae.  |

I have been practicing deer hair spun bass bugs. Still a lot of learning to get a balanced shape.  |

I'd switch up the eyes though Jerry. looks more like fish eyes then bug eyes  Looks like allot of work. How long does it take to tie just one? |

After a few sample efforts for experience and with all of your materials at hand , you can probably tie one in 30 to 45 minutes. The greater your skill at shaping, the faster you can complete one.

Just a little pocket camera, an Olympus point and shoot with a macro setting. Using a tripod helps a lot with clarity.
