BODY thick peacock herl
RIB Black Thread
TAIL AND WING Peacock neck feathers
COLLAR Deep royal blue saddle hackle - I used the webby base fibers
Comments:
I developed this fly after receiving a bag of Peacock neck feathers from India. These are very attractive to the eye. I hope they are to the fish as well. This fly is very easy to tie. The bunches are just one neck feather clumped together. Choose the length of feather that you prefer. The process is simple, just tie in clumps to make the tail and wing as heavy or as sparse as you like. After each clump is tied in, wrap a few turns of full peacock herl then another clump. The front of the fly has 2-3 turns of deep Royal Blue hackle and then a black thread head. I hope you like this fly as much as I do.

Tie a muddler

Martin Joergensen: "One evening when I was tying flies with a couple of friends, one of them, Nils, asked me to tie a muddler, just as a demo. I did. Luckily the other friend, Henning, was quick and caught these great pictures of the process."

Great Waters

The title of Dan Blanton's new book "Fly Fishing California's Great Waters" indicates it might be interesting to a limited audience. Limiting the scope of a book to one US state might seem like a very tight limit. But when that state is California things change dramatically.
