BH Red Tag?

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Hows it work for 'gills. IT certainly looks flashy enough. What about the durability of the peacock herl? Just give me some general thoughts about it.

As always, thanks for the good advice.

It works wonders for trout but have never used it for gills. I think it would work great. If you want to make the peacock more durable, tie it in with a strand of fine wire that you would use for ribbing, twist the peacock and wire together with just a few turns to make a "rope" and then wrap the body of the fly.

Tie a few up, try a couple color combinations that you know work for gills, fish them, and let us know what you come up with. That is what fly fishing is all about.

It is one of my go to flys for gills. I always carry some
in my panfish box. It has also caught me several nice
accidental crappies. I have had no problem with durablity.

Old hat I was thinking over the winter of trying it out for
trout. I have never used it in cold water. After reading
your post I can't wait.
