C'mon sulphurs ...

Hook Daiichi 1640, #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0, tan
Hackle: Ginger dun hen
Body: Peacock eyestick herl, bleached and dyed sulphur orange

Beautiful fly. The body is so cool! I have never seen bleached and dyed peacock herl before. Did you do that yourself, or did you buy it that way? Either way it is very cool.

That is a cool lookin fly.

Like I said, I'll be looking at some fine flies to get me going. Nice work!

Sulpher was the first thing that popped into my head when i seen that...........like we (Jerry Gonzalas and the Fort Apache' Band), used to say, "i seented it.....and i likeded it."
seems amazing that Peacock herl will even survive bein' bleeched.........pretty incredable.

Thanks for the positive remarks, folks. FYI, the bleached and dyed peacock eyesticks come from Nature's Spirit in many beautiful colors.

Hi Bill,

Nice fly and beautiful sparse hackle too.

Your camerawork becomes better every time.

Tie2fish,
Wow! Another dandy! I wish we could get you to tie your patterns a little more sparse!
All in fun! It really is a beautiful thing you have created!

Yes, that would make an outstanding sulphur... A question: is that one herl palmered up toward the eye, or did you make a chenille out of a few herls and wrap up?

Very nicely done. I have seen dyed peacock but not the bleached and dyed. Very cool.
