try thinner thread touching turns down and same up one run is all you need its certain to catch troot pal keep at it youll master it

As Humungus says you only need to run the thread down to bend of hook and back up again for the body. Try to keep the head smaller aswell by tying in cheeks/thorax cover first and then building up the head. As for the whip finish you can get away with 2 whips if you are going to varnish the fly. On wets etc I would use 3 and then varnish the head aswell for extra strength
