Tying the Pavo Nymph
Heavy on the peacock and killer in the streams. Peacock is a favorite material for many flies for a good reason, it gets results. Years ago, I was fishing a lake in Northern Alberta with a friend. He was using a Halfback nymph and cleaning house on the stocked rainbow trout. Meanwhile I was just catching a few trout. I switched up the the peacock heavy Halfback and was immediately in business. This nymph uses a shorter scud hook with a little more peacock, but has produced some equally great days on the water.
You can tie this either with a brass or tungsten bead, or even sans bead if needed.

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
