We had a customer want a fly tied that was just three pieces of Peacock. Just make a tail and wrap the rest for a body. No weight, no hackle, he sayes he caught trout on them.
He fishes them under splt shot. I tied what he wanted, then tied one the way I thought it should be tied. I weighted it and wraped wire on the body to make it last. I'm waiting to hear from him to see which is better.
