hook tmc size 14
thread UNI fire orange 8/0
tail starling tip
body, 1 good peacock spear tied in backwards to create a biot like affect
wound all the way up to create the thorax as well
hackle white hen

I like this one Fishhead. It Has some ideas rolling in my head. Nice job tying . A simple crop and we could see the detail a bit more.

I like this pattern for a number of reasons, but especially the body. I love the segmented look of the backwards wrapped peacock herl. Clever. I also like the use of the starling feathers as a tail. Makes sense on these small flies. Very creative.

The perfect idea, creating a complicated looking look in the simplest manner. Well done!

Very creative, with a most interesting result.

That's a combo I haven't seen before. Nice grouping. The starling tail is especially interesting as a swimming mayfly nymph tail. That little white tip reminds me of following a deer getting out or range as it bounces away through the trees. Should be an interesting attractive quality

(I don't hunt, or have guns. haven't since I was 12, but I was 12 once, living in Arkansas, driving my four-wheeler in the deer woods with a gun rack and a cb mounted on the front. Absolutely impossible to imagine now. I've gone to some links to separate myself from my upbringing, so don't be passing that around. ) .

There is nothing inherently wrong with guns or hunting.

No, No, I didn't mean anything like that. I don't have any kind of agenda, or feelings either way, just poking fun at how much I have changed. Couldn't be a bigger transformation without surgery.

After my wife quit gutting and packing my elk out for me, I gave up hunting too. I practice Catch and Release cause she quit cleaning the fish aswell. In hind sight I think I should have gone mail order
