Don’t really care for peacock feather flies anymore. They work great but get beat up fast.
I went to synthetic peacock colors.

I like some of these wild colors but wonder if the fish really care what the colors are. I have added flash to some of the Clouser I make but have only caught fish with the Clouser that don't have flash. So I question whether it is helpful. Time will tell.
I really like this fly. What is the smallest you would go for the trailer hook, 6, 8?
