Hans, another big wink in Tom Ivans direction is probably in order. Change the gold tag for a silver one and you have a Black and Peacock Spider.

Wow! Nice quality peacock.

Beautiful tied fly.
I agree with Allen on the quality of the peacock.
Ronnie
I agree 100% with this: "Wow! Nice quality peacock."
The real question is: Is it the quality of the peacock or is it the way the "master tyer" prepared, tied in and wrapped the peacock? Or is it a little of both?
Whatever, it is a beautifully tied fly!

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
Warren,
No tier can grow the length of the flue at time of wrapping. Herl selection is a big part of it.
