Stonefly

 

Tails:Good

Body:Good but needs to be a little more even.

Thorax:Very nice maybe you could clip the dubbing, It looks a little wild

 

 

Caddises

 

The bodies and tails are all very good

 

On the last one the wing is a little to long

 

Your heads are pretty good, You just need a little practice :D

on the stonefly i would try to make it wider by laying strips of thick lead wire or yarn on each side, but other than that they seem great

Those are quite excellent for being in your first month of really tying!

 

Others gave some good advice on little tweaks you can make... but those'll catch fish.
