Please don't think I'm criticising as I am not someone good enough to judge anyone elses flies. But this forum is a great place to pick up tips for improving your style. I prefer the two last patterns for symmetry. I'd probably add a short butt tag of floss or tinsel on the last fly before the tippet tail. The second pattern I would either lengthen the white wing or shorten the beard (throat hackle) prob the latter. The first pattern also seems a bit heavy underneath. The top orange wing stops short and the beard feathers are really long. Is it supposed to fish hook point up? But all great colours.
