50 Shades Of Hare's Ear: #32

50 Shades Of Hare's Ear

#32  Peacock Herl Body

Hook:  Hends BL554, sizes 10-16 (Size 12 pictured)
Bead: (Optional)
Weight;  To suit
Thread: UTC 70, brown
Tail:  Mottled hen, light
Ribbing:  Hends, gold 0.1mm doubled, twisted and counterwrapped.
Body:  Peacock herl taken from just below the eye
Wingcase:  Pheasant tail, natural
Thorax:  Natural hare's ear taken from the base of the ear mixed with Sybai's Fine Flash, UV

Notes:

(1)  The combination of peacock and hare's ear makes any fly a winner.   Look no further than Perry Griffin's 20-incher stonefly pattern for proof!
(2)  I've weighted this fly with tungsten strips wrapped down the shank and doubled in the thorax area.
