Hey, if ya caught fish on one, don't worry about it being ugly....the fish didn't mind!!
Flatfish taught me that! Don't worry about how it looks to you...you're not gonna eat it
That looks like a pretty good tie to me. I too struggled with palmering
hackle to get that buggy look. After five or ten poor tries I finally figured out

stuff!! Go figure!
