>>2773130Yeah palmering marabou can be tricky, but aside from your trailer hook being a little short it looks right. it's a big tuft of marabou with lead eyes and too much flash.
>>2773138I'd go back another 1/4-3/8 inch I like that stinger to be almost hanging out the back but itll fish where you've got it
>>2773158I like that colour combo
Just make sure you're getting all the marabou you can out of each feather or sometimes even doubling up that one looks a little sparse. Very much a "more is more" kind of fly. And dont be afraid to play with it, grizzly hackles it lateral scale can up curb appeal, contrasting hot heads can be cool (black with a pink or chartreuse or orange head makes a good egg sucking leech) amd dont set the hook too hard while swinging. When I get a thump swinging I do literally nothing and let the fish hook itsself; I've lost a lot of good fish trying to set the hook and ripping the fly from its mouth. When you hook a fish they tend to open their mouth and shake their heads violently, so you want to wait till you feel the fish turn and run to set the hook in to the fish instead of ripping the fly out of its mouth.
