Help with hackle
#4
I am one of the worst eye crowders so I might not be the best source of info, but I'm gonna give it a try.

If the proportions seem right, you might be simply using too small of a hook. Trying to tie a size 18 fly on a size 20 hook if that makes sense? Either down size the components proportionally, or up size your hook a click. The only other thing i can think of without seeing you tie would be to only whip finish a couple times with only 3 or 4 wraps each.

And yeah, practice will make you better.
