VERY nice! Great photo too! Does the peacock still have some iridescence?

Yes, quite a bit, just couldn't pull it out in the picture without blowing out parts of the photo. New camera, so it's a trial and error thing at the moment. If you look closely you can see some of the effect across the back of the fly.

Mark, you do? I don't know how I missed peacock dyed in different colors. Maybe people mostly dye their own. I won't turn any down, that's for sure. If you feel like using that Prairie Chicken, go for it! I would love to see what you tye with it.

That's pretty cool stuff, don't remember ever seeing that color. I like colors like that cuz the fly is easy to find when I drop it on the ground while i'm trying to tie it on. I keep telling my wife I need a 23 year old fishing partner (blond) to help me do these things.
It's not working
Really nice looking tie.
