Default Black & Peacock Variant

I'm only tying a few weeks so here's my attempt at a Black & Peacock Variant..

For the moment, just working on basic patterns...

Any thoughts?

Not too sure about the furry ar$e but it's a very nicely tied wee pattern.

There's not much room for improvement, great job I'd say you have that fly pretty much down. Perhaps the head could be a slight bit neater.

I like the fly. Only thing I could suggest is, try to keep the tail on top of the shank to stop it from spinning round. Otherwise, cracking little fly

A softer hackle suits the pattern better I think...
