Better yet.... Rope dub your peacock herl (that's the best way I can explain it to those who know rope dubbing). Wrap your peacock herl around a piece of thread and then wrap that around the hook shank. Then it will last through more than a couple fish. Deb

Fish sure as hell isn't gonna mind, and the fly will hold up longer. One herl will be busted on you after the first fish. Maybe a little bit of very fine gold wire (wraped thru) might help as well. Help sink it and the extra bulk (of an added herl) is good for splaying the hackle anyway. Good luck. mark.....
