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?

ray
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

thats a size 14

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