Griffith's Gnat---trimmed hackle

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.

Thank you for your kind advise. I have bought 7 books from USA. The
favorite books are "The benchside Introduction To Fly Tying" by Leeson
Schollmeyer and "Fish Flies-The Encyclopedia of the Fly Tier's Art" By
Terry Hellekson. One book have detailed information about fly tying.
The other book tell more about fly tying history and what is a fly. I
think I have learnd a lot from the books. You know, there is a movie
called " A big river runs through it". I have watched the movie many
times. I love the movie.

By the way, I am not on a tight budget. The reason is none of the
internet shop would like to sent the tying material overseas because
the regulations of several U.S. government agencies. I also asked
China Import and Export Inspection department. The feathers are
forbiden to import unless you have to apply a lot of inspections. So
It is impossible for an individual to buy the feathers on the
internet.

I think I will buy the book "The Fly Tier's Benchside Reference".
However, thanks, guys. I really appreciate it.

Uh oh.

Just wait. In a few years we'll be buying all our genetic hackle from China.

Maybe you should consider breeding chickens.
