Here is my first attempt at this fly. There is much to improve on, but its a start.
Thanks for looking.

Nicely done. Getting the jungle cock main wing to sit right is a challenge for most.

There are three things I'd change:

1) I'd shorten the jungle cock wing so it ends at 1/2 up the tail. This will better ballance the fly.

2) I'd make the teal a lot longer. I prefer this fly to have the teal go right out to the end of the jungle cock and envelope about 1/4th of the top edge of the jungle cock in the manner of a bronze mallard roof on a married wing.

3) Make the yellow dubbing head shorter, more like the size of a dubbed butt from a married wing classic.

Don't get me wrong. This is a well-tied fly that would be superb with the small adjustments suggested.
