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.

Apparently you have some history here I'm not aware of. Don't know if
you're on a tight budget, or what. But if you're really into fly tying, you
might want to get "The Fly Tier's Benchside Reference". Awesome reference.
