It is a cracker even if you didn't tie it. I am delighted to have the recipe, and thanks to whoever the tyer actually was. it works as an 'ordinary' wet and as a nymph. The hackles on the version I tied matched the length of the hook, so when in the water, the form a cone around the peacock body.

With the flash tail, I suspect that this may be mimicking a small aquatic beetle.

Anyhow, got me a 1lb trout this evening, nymphing amongst the ranunculus on the Fife Eden.
