Nice! This looks like a good midge pattern.

Have you done anything to improve durability of the peacock herl rib? Is the body treated with head cement or adhesive to make the rib more durable?

i twisted the herl around a tag end if tying thread but as it goes with peacock herl its probably a 2-3 fish fly before the herl breaks. might fish better with strand of herl fluttering in the water

Norm, I've been a fan of your tying since the FAOL days. I'm really enjoying seeing your flies again.

Thanks Norm.
