Well done!
Once you start tying it gets really hard to pay someone $2 per fly...

Nice. What size hooks and bead? Tungsten, brass or something else? All marabou or is there chennile around the shank? Looks like something I want to copy for personal use!

White River Fly Shop Size 10 3X long all purpose hook, 1/8" diameter WAPSI gold bead, yellow marabou, medium yellow chenille, and olive hackle. I wrap the hook shank about halfway with lead wire for added weight. I used white hackle on the two flies pictured above, but I think the olive hackle gives a bit of contrast and texture to the yellow. I'll probably tie a number of different combinations using different hackle and chenille colors with yellow or fluorescent yellow marabou.

Adding to the collection and restocking the fly box. I decided to tie a few bead head buggers in popular crappie jig colors. Black n yellow seems to be a good color combo for muddy waters.

Those look excellent!! Black and Chartreuse is one of my favorite color patterns. I actually tied up some black & chartreuse briminator variants a couple days ago. I was planning on tying up some woolly buggers in that pattern as well. These give me a little motivation, well done.
