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

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
