Default Griffith's Gnat---trimmed hackle

Today, I trimmed the Griffith's Gnat hackle a little bit to make the
hackle length is about 1.5 times hook gap. Here is the picture.

I have to say I do not have the genetic hackle to tie the fly. I use
the smallest Chinese rooster neck feather to tie the fly. And I also
reduce the wrap of peacock herl. The pattern looks a little weird. I
just want to know whether it looks better than my first one. Or there
is anything I should pay attention to when tying this pattern again.


I would like to apologize, Da, for my previous rude comment on your
original post.
Like some others, I thought it might have been spam, but it wasn't.

I applaud your efforts to create trout files in a situation that makes
it difficult to
find proper materials.

Do you have trout and midges in China? Do you fish for trout?
