I have been using the rest of the peacock feather to tie the wingcase on PT or hares ears.. Rick From: Jimmy D.

Wonder how many peacock feathers it took to make the dress, and how much the total cost was. That thing would keep the entire VFB in feathers for a year. Probably take a John Deere tractor hooked to a rope around her waist, to help her move forward. :-D Now, I have a Question. All of us use peacock herl in making fly bodys, etc. but how do ya'll use the rest of the feather. This is a Dumb question I know, but I don't know the answer.

Re: [VFB] The woman in a fly-tyer's dream...
There was a fly I saw several years ago, think it was in the first 'Flytyers Almanac', that used the quill as an under body for a sandeel pattern. Looked pretty good to. The lengths of herl are also used as an over wing on saltwater patterns.
