Winding the herl with the hackle? That's a new one, thanks! 👍

Hello, this looks like a wonderful little fly. I do not have the CDC colour you are using but I will try it with a natural colour. I have not used your brand of UV resin but will try it with Bug Bond which should give me the same result. A very nice tutorial, thank you so much.

Hi, and thank you very much! Any color Cdc you have will work well, the best is to find something that you can easily see on the water. Bug Bond would work the same. Thank you for watching. All the best, Simon

Does it sink or swim?

What vise are you using?

[@HacklesAndWings]

The vise is Marc Petitjean's Swiss vise 25th Anniversary - Limited Edition

killer! i tie the same pattern without the peacock and the fly certainly doesnt need it but i like the idea of wrapping few strands around the cock hackle..

[@HacklesAndWings]

Thanks! It sure isn't necessary but peacock has this quite magic ability to catch fish and fishermen 😉
