ok first of all a white peacock is not necessarily an albino most white peacocks are piebolds not albino with albinos they usually die very young due to their light and heat sensitivity now for your questions the herl is usually a bit thinner on whites and also more fragile but if you carefully strip them they make great quill bodies that when coated with a thin coat of sally hansens are almost translucent allowing you to use a colored thread underbody that will slightly show through giving the body depth

today brought 2 sets a great white fly from fishingbobnelson that makes me anxious for the dusty millers to start hatching and the second set from Breambuster that is going to hurt some lips for sure not so sure it is going in the gill box though I think this one might end up being a killer trout nymph -

Blane I got the package today I love the damsel flies. there is a small creek near my house that I fish on occasion that holds some larger rainbows in it and they hold up in the deeper pocket water when it gets warm out and they gorge themselves on damsels late in the evening so I know right where this one will be fished lol. Jolly red yours came with Blane's and these are some impressive cork poppers never to many poppers in a fly box and the paint job is awesome. -
