Fly Tying-Help Needed

[FishermanGizmo]

Hi, Can anyone post a link or say how to plat marabou? Also what is the best fly to tie?

As I have a Fly Tying/Fishing club in school we will have a comp. Who can tie the best fly. As I am one of the best in the group (Tied for a club) I want to do something different. But I cant think what to do I'm looking through my fly book (Fishing Flies by Malcolm Greenhalgh & Jason Smalley)

 

But what I would really like to know is how to plat a marabou tail like the 1st picture

Look at this article plaiting is fiddly and does not really confer any advantage over a normal marabou tail, in my opinion it is actually worse as it is not so mobile.
