Hey you will do fine with this and they should work with fish. Good job.

The only thing I would add or suggest is try maybe one or two less wraps at the finish. This is also one place a regular bend hook helps with more wraps since the usable shank is longer. I do know lots of time I make too many wraps.

It's also hard to keep the hackle from turning and really you want as best you can keep it from turning.

I just am learning a new way to dub and still protect the hackle so it will not cut when I fish bites it. I paid dearly to learn this new method with buying a DVD.

Anyway good job and just keep trying and remember the better the hackle the easier it is too. I have several Hen skins coming that I believe will be long enough for me to use the Hen feathers for this. Also going to get a couple more colors right away.
