Been going through my "Tie List" of various patterns I've seen over the past few months.  Here are a few more that I've done.

I tied up some RS2's in BWO colors. Natural Mallard CDC for the wing. Sizes are 16, 18, 20, and 22. Yes, the 16 might be a little too big, but it was a good size to learn on. Had a little foible and DROPPED on as I was composing the shot. Had an idea, turned off the lamps on my desk, grabbed my UV torch, and hit the flies I had on my desk. YES! The micro-fibbets fluoresced! Walked over and turned off the overhead lights, came back, turned the torch back on, and spotted my fly in seconds.

Some Micro PT Nymps, tied on 3xl curved-shank hooks size 18. Guess I'm going to have to get some 20's and 22's if I can find some  

The colors don't come through very well as I'm shooting under fluorescent light (I prefer natural sunlight). Top is actually Turkey Tail, middle is PT Dyed Green, and the bottom is natural PT.

Some WD40 flies, size 18 and 20. Camera didn't focus right, danggit!

Also did some WD40 Plus flies. Basically the same as a WD40, but with a brown dubbing on the thorax, and a split wing case with an emergent wing.
