What's not to like about a fly with this much peacock?; developed by John Perry of Missoula, MT. Couldn't find any instructions, but it seemed pretty easy to figure out a tying sequence that worked.


hook - Tiemco 5212 #10
thread - Uni 6/0 camel
tail - elk hair
body - peacock herl
underwing - Krystal Flash pearl
wing - elk hair
thorax - peacock herl
post - Congo Hair white
hackle - grizzly


Part 1

mash barb, attach thread at 2/3 mark, wrap to point above barb







wrap back to initial tie-in, clean/stack a clump of elk and measure for length (let it extend a bit more than hook gap width past the bend)







trim to length, tie in and wrap back to point above hook barb










tie in some peacock herl







twist herl with tying thread and wrap forward to initial tie-in; tie off/trim peacock







tie in some Krystal Flash; fold it back over body










clean/stack another, denser clump of elk and measure for length (let it extend to the tail)
