The hackle is only too heavy if you think it's too heavy.
I like the body color with the gold tag.
You should have no problem feeling tugs on the business end of the line.

No question the fish will like it!

Don’t worry. Trout will thin out the hackle for you.
Cast. Catch. Repeat!

Another dandy Darrell with "the look" that I mentioned earlier! Hackle density? Who cares! The trouts don't! It's looks very edible! The trouts, me not so much! Great job friend! We can't wait to see what's next!

Like the gold tag... ala LaFontaine's suggestion that the gold tag on dark flies has historical relevance!
