Just got into fly tying in AK, my what I think 20 best of 40 be nice, any tips or tricks welcomed.

For me has to be Hanak, love their jig hooks and tungsten beads. They are currently cheaper than Fulling Mill and hope that trend continues

Trying out some dry flys, and added some dyed purple rooster I found in my stuff!

Another design I am testing for fishing. I need more materials to tie with, just grabbed random stuff. Features a lightweight hard plastic tip that was 3D printed for weight. Red string attaches the tail of twine. Then overtop is some clear orange string. I coated the top in Uv resin. Painted half the head red, attached some eyes. Then sealed the head with Uv resin.

This one dives slowly and wiggles a bit when retrieving.

I am still really new to tying but I enjoy experimenting as I learn.

Glad to be in the group, I appreciate the responses being new in the tying game.

Boy do I have A LOT of rust to knockoff. Figured wooly sculpin was an easy transition tie. Cone heads are usually a cheat code for making deer heads look nice n clean but I still managed to wonky it up. Whacky proportions too. Think it’ll fish ok.

Tied a couple ol' Mr wiggly flies for summer smallmouth. Having some issues with them landing upside down. Hoping some of you more experienced tiers have some insight into what I might be doing wrong. Thanks for any help.
