Like DT and KJ state above - it's all about how it looks in the water and how it catches fish - and I can bet that will catch fish. Probably the most common problem with those just starting out tying is that they end up running out of room when they get to the end of the tie. Understandable - heck I still do that when I'm learning a new pattern. Try and remember as your bringing the materials front and tying them off - to do it in stages and leave some empty/bare hook in front. In other words - bring the chenille front and tie it off - but leave some small part of bare hook shank left behind the eye. Next - bring the hackle front, tie it off just in front of where you tied off the chenille - leaving enough room to create the head "behind" the eye. Many times - when crowding starts occuring - materials are tied off on top of one another and then the thread starts slipping off the bump that's created and things kind of go haywire. It happens - and thats all part of learning.
One more thing - noone sucks at tying - we all just continue to learn. And hey - now you know a bit of what you might have had some trouble with. So go tie another one,,,,,,,, and then another.....................
Your well on your way
