I love peacock herl, but it's so fragile and difficult to work with at times. I came across this material called Ice Dub, in Peacock color. I played around with it and this is what I came up with. It is tied similar to a Pheasant Tail Nympth.

Hook: Cabelas Model 40 #10
Thread: Rust=Brown Uni-Thread 6/0
Tail: Pheasant Tail Fibers
Abdomen: Peacok Ice Dub, dubbed
Rib: Fine Gold Wire
Thorax: Peacock Ice Dub, in a dubbing loop
Wing Case: Pheasant Tail Fibers
Legs/Gills: Pheasant Tail Fibers



I think this is going to be dynamite! I'll give it a try this afternoon.
