That's for a lovely wet fly with several color combos.

This is a wonderful slip winged dry fly. Both are excellent flies.

To get the quills used, take a piece of peacock herl (get it from close to the eye if you can, if not use what you have). Place it on a smooth hard surface use a pencil eraser to erase the green flue from the quill working from close to the tip to the butt. Some people can use their fingernails to strip the flue, my nails aren't that good.
