Steve,
I've tried other body material, but the peacock works best.
We used to have a fellow in our club several years ago who had
guided many years in the Yellowstone area.
In fly tying class, I asked him what his favorite fly was. He said,
"Anything with peacock."

One of the simplest and easiest ties I've seen on a nymph is
called a RED TAG. Standard Nymph hook , red yarn tail, peacock body
and a small brown hackle collar. I've seen it work w/short and long
shank hooks as well as tied tandem.
