A Few spring experiments, do they work?

[scanny]

With the season starting shortly and chilly temperatures i experimented with a few spring flies. With next months newtyle visits in mind pink was the colour of the day, along with shades of violet for the first time. Also it was my first attempt at templedog style flies.

There are a few tying errors with the dog's, i havens any shalapen as yet so i used black saddle hackles on the front instead, and the wings could do with being a little tidy'er. All the fur was from Foxy's latest offer

Do the colour combinations work and are there any other mistakes.

I havent tied many shrimps up on treble's, the now holes ion my fingers reminded me why. A Coypu tail with a light layer of purple bucktail supporting a Fox wing
