Still plugging away at this tying thing.

Here's a couple more of my latest efforts for your amusement.

I really like the green midgey one...and good job on the RS2
 
I'm just starting out myself but I can tell you ANYONE would be happy with that RS2.
 
Great ties. Keep up the great work, your ribbing looks better than mine

I'm not happy with that RS2 :)
If you are trying to tie what has become the commercial version of the RS2, the tails look short (should be full hook length), and it looks like you clipped the fibbets. The wing looks too far back to me (should be at about 25-30%) and it should slant backwards towards the bend. The body looks nicely tied. It's a nice fly. Keep tying and posting!

The original was actually tied with a very different set of materials. Beaver dubbing and hackle fluff. There is an interesting bit of history here.
