This little guy was shown to me from a fellow fly tier, but I am sorry I don't have his name. He tells me this fly is Killer on the Provo. Well, I am here to tell you, he is right. Also stillwater, and Canyon Creeks. Just an all around great tie.

HOOK: Mustad C49S #14
BEAD: Black Tungsten 5/64
THREAD: Olive 14/0
TAG: Hot Pink Danville 210 denier
THORAX: Peacock
COLLAR: Partridge or Hen or Coq De Leon

Note: I tie this in two stages. I tie the tag then coat with Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails Clear Polish to add a shine and durability. You can also add thin wire to Thorax to make it more durable

Put Bead on Hook but tilt hook slightly forward in vise so you can run the Tag down the bend.



At this point I coat the Hook with Sally Hansen's and put on a wheel to dry.

Next I add a couple Peacock Herls.

I wrap the Peacock from middle of hook to bead. Short Body:



The feather, I strip the fluff and lower part plus one side and I tie in from
the tip.

Wrap the hackle two times.....less is more in softhackles:
