My Prince |
|
|
|
Hook: | Standard dry fly |
Thread: | Black 6/0 |
Tail: | Pheasant tail fibers |
Body: | Peacock herl, twisted with red wire |
Wing case: | Two white CDC feathers |
Thorax: | Peacock herl |
Legs: | Pheasant tail fibers |
Note: I have to say that I can’t stand biots as wing cases or tails. They’re just too stiff. I’ve always liked the prince because of the peacock, but I had to do something different with the tails and wing buds, and this is it. The method of twisting the herl with wire to make a durable body was shown to me by Mike Lawson, and it’s now become my favorite way of using peacock. |
