Peacock & Black

Like several others who have commented, I too had to copy this fly. Hope to field test it when we go to WY next month.

Hackle is Collins hen neck. I didn't twist the peacock with the thread; I just ribbed the peacock with a long tag of the Pearsall's.

Excellent!

What hook is this tyed on? I don't recognize it. Is that a barbless limerick bend?

It was a very slow day for me on the Gunnison yesterday. I am glad I tied this in sizes 16 and 14. It saved my bacon, and kept the skunk off me.

Thanks Bill. Great pattern

DUBBN, thanks for the fishing report! I hope to get out in about a week to test some new flies.
