Golden Peacock

[Old Hat]

While visiting a shop outside Portland, Oregon I came across something I couldn't pass up. Peacock dyed golden.

So hence the Golden Peacock

Hook: old mustad, (3399A, I think)
Thread: pearsalls silk thread, brown
Body: Spirit River brand peacock dyed golden stonefly twisted with silk thread
Hackle: speckled badger variant

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.

Dynomite Carl..........sweet.

Kelly, i've got that peacock in a bunch a colors. i'll make sure you get some. btw, i'm going to do a fly using the Prairie Chicken you sent asap.

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.
