I appreciate all the input fellas.

Thanks for the input Coach. I did some looking around and found some differences in the steps I tied and those on other bodies. The tail on the green one is definately maribou and done horribly wrong. I see where I screwed that up. The body, I am sure, was not Maribou. It was a saddle hackle. The gear for the chartreuse came from a kit I got. I compared it to the gear I bought at the fly shop and nonticed how much better the fly shop material was. This may account for some of the look. Also I noticed none of the wooly buggers online were tied on the body like I did. I twisted the sadle around the chineille before I twisted it around the hook. This would seem to make the hackle hold up better. It was tough wrapping the chineille/saddle hackle this way(no rotary vise), but seemed to make the wraps more uniform. Any more thoughts on any of this? Again I appreciate the input.

....and a camera with no macro settings. :wallbash: A chartreuse Wolly Booger. I dont care for the color and the tail is too long. A Wolly Worm. Pink Hackle. Crystal chaneille. White Flashabou for the tail. Black thread. My wife picked out the colors for this one. Hoping to set down this weekend with teh new vise and knockout some more. Playing with hook sizes and such.

I have lurked for a while and figured I had better introduce myself. I have learned alot about tying from everyones posts and hope to contribute. I fly fish both cold and warm water. Love the outdoors and boating. Brand new to tying, so I am overcoming the hurdles you all have.....but your site is shure helping the learning curve.

New guy to the forum. I have been doing a ton of reading about fly tying and never made it down to the other sections. Here are a few of my pictures. I seem to be more of an oprtunistic phtotgrapher. Just happen to be outdoors doing something and see what I think would make a pretty picture. Love all of your pics on the site.
