Normand,

Another nice one. Somehow I expect to see a bullet head of shiney black lacquer instead of a small neat head. Possibly because of the size of the peacock herl.

the herl was from an eye stick and i dont particularly like it but use it anyway

Normand, your Forgotten Fly series are so inspirational. I love them!!!

Another nice pattern Norm. Excellent tie!

I bet you could dress the "Fire Starter" using a Salmon/Steelhead Hook, and get the same good results with Salmon & Steelheads! If you dress a saltwater hook using the "Fire Starter" pattern, the saltwater fish would also be willing! ~Parnelli

i bet it could be tied on those hooks. tie some up and post them.

Nice fly , love the herl head!!

I dig that, pretty slick looking fly. Thanks for sharing.

It know it isn't simple, but it LOOKS simple. Or at least enough so that I might give it a shot. Its a really good-looking pattern! Thanks for sharing, Normand!!

Great looking flies!
