You guys are the bomb… ask and ye shall receive Thanks all
did not see Pheasant Tail on here. Also buggers work great with herl.
One of my best tailwater flies is a herl midge. I tie a size 18 or 20 scud hook, gold bead, gold wire, 2 pieces of herl. Wrap thread to bend, over gold wire, tie in herl at bend, wrap herl forward to bead, counter wrap wire over the herl. Tie off and you’re done. Simple, effective, durable.
X-Caddis with a herl body is a killer in sizes 12 and 14.

Hi Stage 1,
Gray hackle peacock, red tag, spruce fly, light Edson tiger, house and lot variant, alder, picket pin, and the herl nymph are some flies using a peacock herl body, or a partial herl body.

Stage, as a hairwing tyer, I’m surprised you aren’t thinking Rats. 
Hi,
A fat peacock herl body, with a wing of a few curls of peacock sword, and a black hackle (dry fly) is a New Zealand pattern called a Love’s Lure. Used as a beetle and/or snail immitation.
