i tied this fly and have used this fly with fabulous success for the trout in the local lake :shock:
it may not look very durable but i have reinforced the peacock herl with super glue under it and it stands up very well!
recipe
hook:any streamer (im using a mustad ac9672)
thread:black 6/0 or 8/0 (here im using red 6/0)
tail: amherst pheasant tippet
body:peacock herl
wing:amherst pheasant tippet
collar:peacock herl
bead: glass seed bead

maybe you would want to try this fly in your waters and see if it works for you???

also is there another pattern like it??

it looks like it would be a really good pattern for our local brookies…and maybe even some of the sea-run brows and rainbows you can find. A very nice, simple and effective fly…I like it! 8)

Peacock is a proven material. You were smart to keep it simple also. You could experiment with this fly by using a metal bead or using a foam underbody to float it.
Good imagination!
