Any advice for a novice tyer?

Well done Guddler. I don't think I've ever seen a better "first ever fly!"

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Must have been some chance alignment of the planets - everything I've tried to do since looks like it has been chewed by a dug. (or would possibly be improved by chewing)
Looks like I'm not going to be a freakishly gifted, natural tyer of flees after all. Damn.
