Just cut a little off the stem side of that marabou,maybe 1/2 inch and it would be just right for my liking.

thanks guys, my wife used neck hackle, probably 3 or 4 feathers and some salmon colored flash

Not bad at all, I think you did a good job on the marabou.

Now if you get to where you want the tail (I like kind of a long tail my self) be sure to cut from the end you tied in and not the business end.

thanks skip, was i correct to pull it off the stem first?
